Abstract

This chapter introduces the topic of water risk and provides an overview of the book. We define water risk as a challenge from water-related issues that may have both negative and positive effects. Water risk addresses financial actors (e.g., investors, financial managers, regulators, risk managers) as well as institutional parties (government, economy, society). We consider the relevance and types of water risk as well as frameworks for water risk assessment and management. In order to facilitate the understanding of the contributions to the book and to appreciate their value in a broader context, we suggest a more comprehensive concept that integrates the most relevant forms, pathways, and stakeholders in the water risk nexus. Overall, the book aims to provide a basis for the further assessment of water-related risks and the development of appropriate risk management techniques.
