What’s Our Water Future?

What’s Our Water Future? is a public academic event examining the challenges facing the global water cycle and the role of science, law and international cooperation in addressing them. Researchers from the University of Amsterdam explore topics including North Sea ecosystems, international river governance, global water rights, historical relationships with water and the protection of deep-sea environments. The programme combines short academic presentations, a panel discussion, visual storytelling and live music. It aims to bring together different perspectives on water pollution, water scarcity and water security, and encourage new research partnerships and approaches to water governance. The event is a pre-event to the BBC Reith Lecture featuring Robert Macfarlane.
