Description:
This session examines contemporary dynamics of drought management, policy, and governance in global drylands. From Cape Town to rural Brazil, new patterns of climate variability and increasing water demand have placed greater stress on water resources which are further exacerbated during drought. This set of papers brings together analyses of drought impacts and vulnerabilities, institutional responses, policy frameworks, and wider governance arrangements from a range of theoretical perspectives. Case studies from South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil and USA draw on both quantitative and qualitative methods to address the prospects for more proactive, inclusive, and integrative approaches to vulnerability reduction in drylands.
