Climate change is finally on the political agenda and has reached the attention of media through Al Gore’s ”An inconvenient truth” and the ”Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change.” What few people discuss, however, is that water is at the very centre of most climate-related effects. Too much or too little water; water at the wrong time or in the wrong place; rising sea levels; and floods in certain regions but drought in others. Changes in water availability are what hit us first with an altered climate.
