Water Safety Plans are an important tool for delivering human rights to water in the context of climate change:<\/strong> Countries in the Pacific region are some of the most impacted by climate change risks on water security. Water utilities are at the forefront of providing water and sanitation services across the Pacific. Water Safety Plans are a comprehensive risk management and risk assessment approach prepared by the utilities that can be applied in both urban and rural socio-economic settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWater insecurity is a complex issue that affects communities differently depending on their circumstances such as their location, economic status, and culture. Given the multidimensional nature of the crisis, the book shows that a comprehensive approach is necessary to address it properly. As climate change exacerbates water insecurity, this book has offered a fresh investigation of practice-based knowledge and insights as to how the water-climate risk can be tackled. The book emphasizes the importance of examining the impacts of climate change on a socio-ecological level, has identified gaps, and provides policy directions to effectively address water insecurity, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to address the urgent global water crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
