Water is the primary medium through which the impacts of climate-related extremes are manifested and these impacts have repercussions on almost every sector—water, agriculture, energy, mobility, among others. The purpose of this session is to discuss research that has led to an improved understanding of how these impacts have been ascertained for the various sectors. The session will also deliberate on avenues that have been adopted to address these impacts and vulnerabilities.
