Water and Climate Change

Water and climate change are inextricably linked. Water stocks are under increased pressure as the global population grows and natural resources are depleted; climate change only serves to exacerbate this situation. Springer Nature is delighted to presenta collection of research that can deepen the understanding of and offer scientific solutions for global water challenges.

The content below focuses on three areas: 1) protecting carbon sinks such as oceans and wetlands; 2) adopting climate-smart agricultural techniques; and 3) increasing the safe reuse of wastewater. We hope this research will provide support to researchers, administrators and all others who work on securing clean water for all. We also welcome your future contribution. Publishing your next project with Springer Nature.
