ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN EUROPE AND CENTRAL ASIA 14/06/13

Like other regions, Eastern Europe and Central Asia is vulnerable to climate change and its
potential socioeconomic impacts. While all countries are facing warmer temperatures, a changing
hydrology, and more extreme events (for example, floods and droughts) and are concerned about the
level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, they differ in their financial and institutional capacities to
respond. Therefore, especially for the most vulnerable countries in the region (for example, those in
Central Asia and southern Europe), adapting to climate risk adds a new dimension to the challenges of
development, but also provides an opportunity to revisit priorities and accelerate reforms.

IRRIGATION AND WATER USE 11/06/13

All growers recognise that water use and supply is an essential factor in crop production. A reliable and
consistent supply of water is vital to maximise both yield and quality. With the extreme pressure on the increasingly scarce water resources it is expected that global demand for water will be expected to double over the next few decades. Worldwide irrigation uses a total of 2.7 million gigalitres to produce about 40%
of the world's food.

Climate models indicate that fresh water whilst abundant in places such as Canada, Russia and Brazil, in the restof the world it will become scarce and the competition between urban, environmental and rural uses will escalate as the population increases.
