Dialogue for shared water

In line with the theme of World Water Day 2024, "Water for Peace", OneWater collaborates with the EUR H2O'Lyon for a webinar at the crossroads of disciplines, territories and scales, addressing the notion of sharing water, our common good. Although freshwater is a vital resource, it represents only 3% of all the water available on Earth.

On Wednesday 20 March 2024, from 5pm to 6pm (CET), three researchers with complementary expertise will discuss the challenges of sharing freshwater, bringing together the realities of their research fields in France and abroad.

This webinar will be available in French and English, with simultaneous translation.

Please note that registration for the webinar is compulsory in order to receive login details.
