N2 - - Temperatures will likely increase by 1-2 degrees by the middle of the century and 3-4 degrees by the end of the century.- A likely overall increase in precipitation and larger seasonal variation might lead to water related stress during a prolonged dry season and flood risks during the wet season.- The overall climate related effect on water resources is a status quo.- Increased rainy season rainfall offers opportunities for rain fed agriculture and water storage for hydro-power and irrigation.- Local governments are already effectively dealing with these climate related impacts. Assigning more responsibilities and capacities to LG can unlock great potential for adequately delivering locally diversified climate change adaptation.
