Resumen
Descripción
Climate change is a critical issue
facing the countries of the Nile basin. While individual
weather events are difficult to attribute to climate change,
their sum is already having adverse effects on socioeconomic
conditions across the region. While climate change was not
an overt focus of the Nile basin initiative’s (NBI’s)
mandate when it was launched in 1999, it has emerged as a
key challenge for countries of the Nile to take seriously.
Understanding variability in river flows is one of the first
steps in understanding climate change impacts and planning
how to respond to them. Developing this understanding and
getting it into use has been at the heart of the NBI’s
technical work.
