DANISH INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (DIIS) Policy Brief

Climate change is expected to intensify water security concerns in international river basins. In spite of international climate commitments, the day-to-day business of development in countries along the Mekong and Zambezi does not necessarily factor in climate change. Varying levels of vulnerability to climate change creates different levels of real commitment to climate action. Prioritizing actions that address immediate development challenges is crucial to increasing political commitment.
