Climate change presents a fundamental challenge to global sustainable development. Adapting to climate change will require an integrated and flexible approach to planning, building a consensus across many different sectors. Integrated river basin management is one such tool and an important future vehicle for our adaptation work. The main objective of the IRBM is to establish a balance between the existing natural functions of the river system and the developed aspects of the system. The management actions should fulfil the expectations of the society for industrial use, recreation, nature management, and agricultural purposes.
