Urban Water under Climate Change: Transition, Management and Governance

Cities are now hosting the still growing majority of global population and thus have become the hubs of natural resources and water demand, both direct and indirect. At the same time, they face multiple socio-economic, political and planning challenges, especially in the so-called Global South, which are exacerbated by impending climate change impacts. The session introduces approaches to urban water management from a social and governance perspective, linking water management to poverty, inequality, and urban planning. Case study presentations will show cities and citizens as vulnerable to CC-related water issues and introduce governance practices to tackle such challenges in an integrated manner. Beyond that, the poster session offers perspectives on urban water bodies, their services provided and related management frameworks
