Climate Change and Water in Mountains: A Global Concern
Mountains are recognized as particularly sensitive physical environments where intense and rapid changes have in the past, and may increasingly in the future, place pressure on their resource base. How are mountain regions affected by the evolution of water resources and their uses ? What kind of risks need to be considered ?
