|Description=Water availability is essential for natural vegetation and agricultural production, human settlements and industry. Around one third of the world’s population lives in countries suffering from medium to high water stress ([[OECD, 2012]]). This number is expected to increase as the water demand will increase due to the population growth, and as water availability may decrease due to global warming. | |Description=Water availability is essential for natural vegetation and agricultural production, human settlements and industry.

Key policy issues
- What is the combined effect of climate change and socio-economic development on water demand and availability, and on associated agricultural production?
- What is the potential of adaptation measures to reduce water stress and water-related crop production losses?
- How can water demand be reduced and still provide the adequate service levels to the sectors with the highest demand?
