Climate change. Impacts on aquatic environments and consequences for management
What will the consequences of the climate change be on the quality and quantity of the waters in France? How will the aquatic ecosystems react to the new conditions? What do these new stakes means for the various human stakeholders in water: managers, service operators, farmers, fishermen? Focussed on these issues, the goal of the seminar, on a national scale, was to generate dialogue between scientists and water managers within the perspective of climate change. It then made it possible to suggest prospective elements to take the impacts of this change on aquatic environments into account from a political and economic standpoint. Recap.
The seminar was organised by the French National Agency for Water and Aquatic Environments (Onema) and the Management and Impacts of Climate Change programme (GICC) of the Ministry in charge of sustainable development, with the support of GIP Ecofor, on 29-30 June 2009 in Paris.
