At the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference last December (COP21), a coalition of nations, river basin organisations, businesses and civil society announced the creation of the international Paris Pact on Water and Climate Change Adaptation to make water systems more resilient to climate impacts. The Water Resilience Focus event under the Lima to Paris Action Agenda on climate change also highlighted other key partnerships and coalitions to make river basins, lakes, aquifers and deltas more resilient to climate change and reduce human interference with oceans. Almost 290 water basin organisations are engaged under the Paris Pact on Water and Climate Change Adaptation.
