This note is part of an Action Notes series and provides guidance for governments and companies on how to ensure that the impact of agricultural investments on water resources is effectively measured, monitored, and regulated.
Current and future impacts of climate change include increasing variability in a number of biophysical processes, such as temperature, precipitation, and flooding.
