This research paper examines strategies for Mexican cities to combat drought, arguing that the impact of drought is mediated by water infrastructure and management rather than being a direct effect. The author proposes 'adaptive water management'—specifically the adaptive management of water demand—as the primary mitigation strategy, noting that the lack of reliable information systems for tracking water loss, consumption, and billing is the main obstacle to implementation.

The paper introduces 'Connected Conservation', a dual-branched model designed to address the biodiversity crisis by tackling distant wealth-related drivers of biodiversity loss while simultaneously empowering local biodiversity stewards.
