Abstract

Climate change and water security are pressing global issues. Although international frameworks for both were developed separately, they share global significance and local transboundary surface and aquifer level impact. A new approach to international climate change law and international water law is needed to recognize the synergies between climate change and water governance at both global and basin levels. This article examines these links by analysing the perspectives of both legal regimes and basin water agreements, making several proposals to enhance synergies between both fields, which are tested in two case studies: the Nile River Basin and the Guarani Aquifer.
