Achieving water resilience
Addressing water resilience needs an innovative systemic approach building on novel scientific evidence and data, societal engagement and policy actions. This session will bring together panelists from all these different areas to discuss the complexity of the topic, bring in the recent outcome of international efforts (e.g. Drought+10 Resilience Conference and the UNCCD Cop16) and shed light on possible path to a resilient future.
All opinions, statements, and questions, either from the panel or the audience, are the speakers’ own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), our conference organizer Copernicus or the Austria Center Vienna, but have been shared here in the name of supporting open, transparent, and unedited discussion on this topic.
