This book provides a fresh conceptualisation of water security, developing an operational methodology for identifying the four core elements of water security which must be addressed by international law: availability; access; adaptability; and ambit.
The world’s freshwater supplies are increasingly threatened by rapidly increasing demand and the impacts of global climate change, but current approaches to transboundary water management are unsustainable and may threaten future global stability and international security. The absence of law in attempts to address this issue highlights the necessity for further understanding from the legal perspective.

Bjørn-Oliver Magsig is a Lecturer in Law at University College Cork (Ireland) where he focuses on international environmental law, law of the sea and the links between natural resources, international security and equity. He teaches Public International Law, Contemporary Issues in International Law, International Environmental Law and Law of the Sea and has been appointed Programme Director of the LLM in Marine and Maritime Law. Bjørn-Oliver has lead various interdisciplinary projects revolving around the socio-legal challenges of managing transboundary natural resources, serves on the Managing Board of the European Environmental Law Forum (EELF) and is a member of the IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law.
