About PSI-connect
Climate change poses a major challenge
to water managers and policy makers alike. Given the long-term
perspective of water management, there is a need to take action now
in order to reduce the vulnerabilities of people and societies to
shifts in hydro-meteorological trends, increased climate variability
and extreme events. At the same time, many of the anticipated
climate change impacts are subject to uncertainty, only adding to
the complexity of water resource challenges. Managing these
uncertainties requires increased information exchange and
cooperation at all scales, particularly between policy makers and
scientific communities. Against this background, new management
approaches and instruments are needed which support dialogue between
these communities. PSI-connect, through experimentation
with and development of innovative knowledge brokering instruments,
will improve the quality and value of interactions between the
science base and river basin managers and policy makers in the field
of climate change impacts on river systems.
