Impact of Population Growth and Climate Change on Water Scarcity, Agricultural Output and Food Security
This research project brought together several teams from across multiple countries to conduct a review and analysis on a wide range of complex, interconnected topics. Any one of these issues (e.g. climate change, population dynamics, food security and water security) can allow for vast and deep exploration. Seeking to integrate the concepts into unified analysis that is comprehensive and coherent is both exceptionally challenging and incredibly necessary. By viewing these issues in isolation, one risks missing significant drivers of change in the other areas. Thus, such projects are critical for fully understanding how communities and countries are affected by growing environmental and human-caused threats, how they are responding, and ideas for how they can improve their adaptation strategies. With the invaluable benefit of being able to draw from an in-depth literature review, expert consultation and findings from case studies in disparate conditions in multiple sites across two countries, the team was able to identify, detail and explore these critical issues in great breadth and depth.
