2024 MDPI World Water Day Webinar: Unconventional Water Resources

To mark 2024 World Water Day, MDPI is launching a special webinar, encouraging scientists to come together, take action, and raise awareness regarding the importance of freshwater, whilst advocating for the sustainable management of water resources.

The theme for 2024 World Water Day is “Water for Peace”. When water is scarce or polluted, or when people have unequal or no access to water, tensions can rise between communities and countries. Over 3 billion people worldwide rely on water that crosses international borders, yet only 24 countries have comprehensive cooperation agreements for shared water resources. With the escalating impacts of climate change and population growth, there is an urgent need for collaboration within and between countries for the safeguarding and preservation of this vital resource.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2024 World Water Day Webinar. Please find an up-to-date outline of the invited speakers below.

Date: 22 March 2024 at 10:00 a.m. CET | 5:00 a.m. EDT | 5:00 p.m. CST Asia
Webinar ID: 835 1582 8017
