OECD COP29 Virtual Pavilion

Adapting cities to water scarcity

OnlineNov 12, 2024 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Description

Climate change is increasing the risk of drought-induced water scarcity around the world, especially in urban areas. Today, an estimated almost 1 billion people are exposed to urban water scarcity risk. This number is expected to at least double by 2050, affecting nearly half of the world’s urban population. This session is informed by recent OECD work on the importance of scaling up climate adaptation to build resilience to water scarcity in cities. The panel will discuss challenges for cities only beginning to confront this risk, and share lessons from those that have already had to manage water crises.
