Webinar: Environmental Diplomacy for Resolving Persistent Transboundary Water Conflicts

June 13th: 3:00PM- 5:00PM (PAKISTAN STANDARD TIME)

Global water quality is deteriorating due to multi-scale drivers of change such as urbanization, industrialization, ecosystem degradation, and climate change. Simultaneously, access to clean water is compromised due to inequitable distribution of freshwater resources. Water security pressures have not only driven regional conflicts, but can also derive from conflicts in some of the least stable regions in the world, and will increase with climate change.
