SREX: Lessons for the water sector

This policy brief introduces a thematic summary of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX), specifically focusing on the implications for water resources and water management.

• The SREX report, commissioned by the IPCC, provides a comprehensive scientific assessment of climate change and extreme weather events, developed over two and a half years by 220 expert authors and 19 review editors, incorporating nearly 19,000 comments and government approval.
• The accompanying thematic brief, 'Managing Climate Extremes and Disasters in the Water Sector: Lessons from the IPCC SREX Report', is designed for policy-makers, planners, and decision-takers at local, national, and regional levels to highlight key findings and suggest immediate actions to increase resilience and prevent damage from climate extremes in the water sector.
