This book examines the water-related impacts of climate change in
the UNESCO Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the
Mediterranean (IBRM) straddling Spain and Morocco. This is the
first in-depth publication on a fascinating transboundary case
study; while climate change effects are rather homogenous across
the IBRM, differing socio-economic contexts, land-use patterns
and policy frameworks in Spain and Morocco mean considerable
variations in vulnerability and consequences for human
security.

The authors have produced a novel and integrated vulnerability
assessment that combines hydro-ecological, socio-economic and
policy analyses. The interdisciplinary approach and insights
contained in this volume will appeal both to those interested in
the integration of natural and social sciences as well as those
working on water and climate change from academic, practical or
policy-oriented perspectives.
