Water Funds: A sustainable climate adaptation and resilient model for stressed urban watersheds in Latin America and the Caribbean
Water resources in Latin America and the Caribbean are highly seasonal and unequally distributed. Climate modelling is predicting greater variation in precipitation, worsening extreme weather events and an increased frequency in water-related disasters. By 2025, estimates show that around 70 percent of the population could be affected by water scarcity. The project aims to support 20 at-risk cities by helping to improve the resilience of their water supplies.
