| How is Asia Adapting to Climate Change?
Lunch Side Event
Studies show that the challenges posed by climate change on water management will be extreme. With crop yields expected to decline by 2.5-10 percent by 2020, 132 million people could be at risk of extreme hunger by 2050. During the lunch session a presentation on climate change impacts and adaptation in Asia will set the scene for dialogue on these critical issues.
