Droughts and floods around the world are predicted to become more frequent and severe as a result of climate change. Using examples from the UK and Africa, the speakers will discuss how our ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change on water supply, food security, and health depends largely upon how well we deal with too little or too much water in the future.
