Adapting cities to urban water scarcity

OnlineNov 12, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Description

Climate change is making drought-induced water scarcity become a growing risk especially in urban areas around the world. Today nearly 1 billion people are estimated to be exposed to urban water scarcity risk. This is expected to at least double by 2050, affecting nearly half of the world’s urban population. This roundtable will be informed by recent insights from work the OECD has conducted on why and how it is important to scale up climate adaptation and build resilience to urban water scarcity in urban areas. The discussion will show how this poses a challenge to cities that are only just learning to confront this risk and an opportunity to share lessons from those that have had to manage water crises already in the past.
