Summary:

Key Vulnerabilities

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

Potential Adaptation Measures

Agriculture and Food Security

• Switch to different cultivars
• Improve and conserve soils
• Enhance irrigation efficiency and/or expand irrigation

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
• Improve or develop water management
• Alter system operating rules, e.g. pricing policies, legislation

Coastal Zones and Marine Ecosystems

• Develop Integrated Coastal Zone Management
