Summary:

Key Vulnerabilities

• Agriculture/Food Security
• Coastal Zones and Marine Ecosystems
• Water Resources
• Public Health

Potential Adaptation Measures

1. Select drought, pest and disease, weed, salinity resistant and high yielding crop varieties for the local conditions. For this purpose the genetic potential of local crop species must be investigated and specimens stored in seed banks,
2. Enhance and maintain soil fertility, to improve the economic water consumption for agriculture,

Key Vulnerabilities

• Agriculture/Food Security
• Coastal Zones and Marine Ecosystems
• Water Resources
• Fisheries
• Land Resources
• Biodiversity

Potential Adaptation Measures

Water Resources

• Increase water supply, e.g. by using groundwater, building reservoirs, improving or stabilizing watershed management, desalination
• Decrease water demands, e.g. by increasing efficiency, reducing water losses, water recycling, changing irrigation practices
• Reduce water pollution
• Improve or develop water management
• Alter system operating rules, e.g.
