    In August’s most-read post, Nathanial Matthews explains how globally, most water infrastructure isn’t designed to meet the demands of a changing climate. Matthews showcases highlights from a new report, Wellspring: Source Water Resilience and Climate Adaptation, which explores innovative approaches to source water protection in the context of a changing climate. The complications of a changing climate are not always so clear, especially its connection to armed conflict.

    In our third top post of the month, John Thon Majok shines a light on the need to address the root causes of protracted refugee situations in Kenya to lift a generation of refugee children out of limbo and ensure refugee self-reliance.
