Think Tanks in BriefThink Tanks in Brief is a quarterly newsletter issued by the International Cooperation Department of the Egyptian Cabinet%u2019s Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC). It highlights insights from global think tanks on critical economic, social, and political issues. In this issue, we focus on the pressing issue of water and climate change, offering an overview of current analyses and developments in this vital area.Addressing water and climate challenges is critical to enhancing economic resilience in a climatevulnerable world. As climate risks intensify, governments, organizations, and communities must adopt proactive measures for water conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable development. By prioritizing water management, we can reduce risks and fully leverage the benefits of innovative solutions while safeguarding ecosystems and livelihoods.Managing shared water resources is also key to national and global stability. Climate-driven water scarcity disrupts agriculture and displaces populations, causing economic strains and social challenges. Comprehensive water governance and climate adaptation strategies are crucial as climate change continues to alter the hydrological cycle and intensify extreme weather events. These challenges demand international collaboration, technological innovation, and increased investment in water infrastructure. Additionally, fostering awareness about climate and water issues is vital for developing the next generation of water resource professionals.By nurturing a culture of sustainable water management and climate resilience, we can better protect our shared future in the face of unprecedented environmental challenges.Along our regular four sections: Expert Articles (insights from leading thinkers), Editor's Picks (selected must-read content that captures the essence of the topic), Recommended Readings (a guide to essential publications for further exploration), and Upcoming Events (a general calendar of significant global events across various fields), this issue introduces a new section: IDSC Highlights: Latest News and Progress, showcasing the latest efforts by IDSC.The views represented herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of IDSC or its staff.ABOUT THE ISSUE Introduction4
