Countering adverse impact of climate change on water resources

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends developing and initiating response strategies to counter the adverse effects that are identified, including changing groundwater levels, and to mitigate saline intrusion into aquifers.
