It explains how Integrated Water Resources Management functions as an effective adaptation approach by reducing climate vulnerability while showing how Climate Change Adaptation processes, including National Adaptation Plans and Nationally Determined Contributions, can strengthen and accelerate its implementation. The report highlights the complementary relationship between these frameworks and their role in improving water governance and enhancing resilience to climate change.
