Biopolitics, climate change and water security: impact, vulnerability and adaptation issues for women - Nidhi Tandon

This article is not intended to be alarmist but its message is urgent. Its observations are fairly straightforward - it examines how climate change will impact on water security, from both the supply and the demand side and how the African continent is especially vulnerable. Its core premise is that one important factor is to ensure that women have the necessary information, tools and resources to plan and take decisions around water security as it pertains to current and future needs. The paper's focus is the African continent, with examples drawn from other developing countries. Its recommendations are extracted from workshop experiences in the field.
