Addressing the unpredictability of multiple sources of global change makes the capacity of governance systems to deal with uncertainty and surprise essential. However, how all these complex processes act in concert and under which conditions they lead to the sustainable governance of environmental resources are questions that have remained relatively unanswered. This book aims at addressing this fundamental gap, using as case examples the basins of the Po River in Northern Italy and the Syr Darya River in Kyrgyzstan. The opening chapter addresses the challenges of governing water in times of climate and other changes. Chapter Two reviews water governance through history and science. The third chapter outlines a conceptual framework for studying institutional adaptive capacity. The next two chapters offer detailed case studies of the Po and Syr Darya rivers, followed by a chapter-length analysis and comparison of adaptive water resources management in the two regions. The discussion includes a description of resistant, reactive and proactive institutions and puts forward ideas on how water governance regimes can transition from resistant to proactive. The final chapter takes a high-level view of lessons learned and how to transform these into policy recommendations and offers a perspective on embracing uncertainty and meeting future challenges. 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 676 $a338.10923479 700 $aMosello$b Beatrice$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063126 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299447303321 996 $aHow to Deal with Climate Change$92530680 997 $aUNINA
