Seminar: <strong>Water</strong> security in a changing world: Coping with threats<br />
Convenors: AGWA, The Rockefeller Foundation, SIWI and UNESCO-IHP<br />
The seminar will address challenges to achieving water security under situations of crisis and change, with particular focus on water. This<br />
includes sustainable growth in conflict zones, climate change adaptation, knock-on effects of crisis situations beyond the country/region<br />
and achieving resilient water management in conflict and crisis areas. The focus of this session is on introducing the concept of <strong>Water</strong> Security<br />
