Using Regional Climate Change Scenarios for Studies on Vulnerability and Adaptation in Brazil and South America
The main goal of this project is to provide high resolution climate change scenarios in the three most populated basins in South America for raising awareness among government and policy makers in assessing climate change impact, vulnerability and in designing adaptation measures.

Consistent assessment of global green, blue and virtual water flows in food production
The project provides a model-based, global yet geographically explicit quantification of green, blue and virtual water flows, for the present and under scenarios of climate change. Diverse adaptation options (particularly in rainfed management) will be considered, and a model intercomparison performed in association with the WaterMIP/WATCH project (http://www.eu-watch.org/). Hence, this project it contributes to the GWSP's Scientific Framework in terms of a thorough quantification of interactions between physical and biological/biogeochemical components of the global water system, and the role of humans within this.
