Resilient Rivers Blueprint Discussion Paper

Rivers are the lifeblood of civilizations and communities have formed intimate relationships with rivers for millennia. But the relationships that communities have with rivers are changing rapidly due to disturbances exacerbated by population increases and climate change. Developing resilience to disturbances is becoming a priority for river communities so we have created a novel partnership, the Resilient Rivers Blueprint, that will create a new way of managing rivers in a world undergoing a dramatic acceleration of change.
