Transitions towards managing natural resources and water
This chapter introduces transitions in natural resource management that are driven by climatic and non‐climatic drivers and discusses the transition framework in the context of urban water management. It then explores how transitions in urban water management can be operationalised and assessed and describes the numerous barriers that can exist in transitions towards urban water security. The main drivers in transitions towards new sociotechnical systems in urban water are rapid population growth and demographic changes, rapid urbanisation, rapid economic growth and rising incomes, increased demand for energy and food and climate change. In transitions towards third‐order scarcity, there are two components to modifying the attitudes and behaviour of water users at the meso level: first, there is the strategic or macro‐level sustainability vision or goal, the water‐saving target and, second, the operationalisation of this strategy at the micro level.
