Australia recognises that the South Asian region is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Climate change is already affecting: annual rainfall and consequently the reliability of flows in the major river systems of South Asia; more than 800 million people depend on the waters of the Ganges, Indus and Brahamaputra rivers; and sea level rise threatens the livelihoods of millions who live in coastal zones and large river deltas. As the demand for water increases due to population growth and rapid economic growth, managing water resources to ensure adequate supplies for people, agriculture, industry, electricity generation and the environment is critical. Funding under this initiative supports moving to a 'Green Growth" path for the region and will invest in climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as integrated water resource management. The total value of this initiative is $0.9 million over 2 years, starting 2011-12.
