Water Security is Climate Security

The Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute and Environmental Change and Security Program partnered with the Tecnológico de Monterrey’s Centro para el Futuro de las Ciudades to convene a panel of experts who shed light on the state of water security in the U.S.-Mexico border region and northern Mexico in particular. Water security is not only an essential component of climate security, it also represents a key intersection for the bilateral relationship. The interdependence of the U.S. and Mexico’s water supplies means that water insecurity on one side of the border inevitably poses risks in a host of industries on the other side.
