Webinar - Conflict analysis as a tool for water diplomacy

In times of rising geopolitical tensions, economic crises and accelerating climate change, there is a growing need for water diplomacy. Defined as the prevention and resolution of political tensions over water and its use with the help of water expertise and diplomatic tools, water diplomacy also emphasises the role of environmental factors in foreign and security policy. Conflict analysis is therefore a useful and necessary tool to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of water diplomacy. At its best, it can help to catalyse peaceful engagement in a tension-high situation where other, high-stakes political issues are not open for cooperation.

Our Director General Prof Mark Zeitoun will be taking part in the panel discussion.
