Water is a multidimensional issue, involving water availability, access to freshwater, spatial and temporal … other aspects. The water security approach manages such complexity and proposes a comprehensive view of human security in … relation to the water-related issues. Consequently, the solutions developed in order to face this multi-faceted concept should …

This paper analyzes the economic impacts of changes in water availability due to climate change. We develop a new … modeling approach as an alternative to include water as a production factor within a global CGE model. We tailor the structure … of the ICES model to characterize the key features of the world economy with a detailed representation of the …
