“Water resources: it's getting complicated!”

From March 22 to 24, 2023, the United Nations will gather in New York to discuss water issues and take stock of the international community's actions and efforts to be pursued. The last UN conference on these issues was held in 1977.

This is a historic event, and Montpellier and the UNESCO International Center ICIREWARD are addressing these issues with a unique program during the day entitled "From New York to Montpellier, all mobilized for sustainable water":

• An awareness day for schoolchildren at the Corum Convention Center to support younger generations in facing the challenges ahead (registration closed).

• A public conference entitled "Water resources: it's getting complicated!" to provide the keys to understanding the major issues with an eclectic panel of scientific specialists, elected officials, and managers:

"Last summer showed us the importance and vulnerability of our water resources. What are the issues and major challenges ahead? What are the constraints and levers for action? An eclectic panel of scientists, elected officials, managers, and users will address issues related to water resources (their evolution, accessibility, and quality) and the thorny issue of sharing them. Particular emphasis will be placed on the need to regenerate dialogue between all stakeholders in the field on issues that are crucial to each of them."
