Source-to-sea management is key to climate security
In this policy brief you will learn about how source-to-sea management is an important approach for both climate mitigation and adaptation. It draws on a new study which indicates that many countries see a need for such enhanced coordination in their climate actions.
Source-to-sea management involves system-wide thinking and acknowledges the interdependencies of flows and services throughout river basins, deltas, coasts and marine areas. By addressing these linkages, it is possible to achieve much-needed coordination across institutions, sectors and public uses.
