"Faire-face Aux Changements Ensemble (FACE [1])": Towards a better adaptation of water resources due to climate change in Canada and West Africa

The goal of FACE is to support the ability to adapt to climate change (CC) in Canada, Morocco and Niger. These areas have important natural climate variability and they are subject to both scarcity and abundance of rain, and therefore, the distribution of water resources varies widely. All these factors greatly influence the risk to human health and integrity of natural and human systems in the context of CC.  This study will focus on a better understanding how CC will influcence water availability within these areas.

Research focus:

• Climate change senarios
• Seasonal water variability
• Impact on human health in Canada and West Africa
