The International Conference on Water, Peace, and Security will bring together governments, international organizations, researchers, civil society, and key stakeholders to explore the critical role of water as a catalyst for peace and cooperation.
Participants will examine the challenges posed by water insecurity, including conflicts triggered by water scarcity, pollution, and mismanagement. The conference will also spotlight innovative strategies, tools, and policies that can transform these challenges into pathways for sustainable peace and development.
Themes:
- From water-conflicts to peace and cooperation: Case studies of successful prevention/mitigation/resolution of water-related conflicts, and pathways towards conflict sensitive and cooperative water management.
- Innovations for water and peace: Exploring the role of data and models in promoting peaceful and cooperative water resource management.
- Climate change and water security: Addressing the intersection of climate change impacts (floods and droughts), and associated conflict risks, and mitigation experiences.
- Agency of marginalized groups in water, peace and security: Amplifying the role of underrepresented groups (women, youth, indigenous) in water governance and peacebuilding.
