The International Water Resources Association (IWRA), jointly with the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP), and supported by the American University of Beirut (AUB), the China Water Resources Association (CWRA) and Texas A&M, organised a very successful Online Conference on “One Water, One Health: Water, Food and Public Health in a Changing World”, held from 7-9 June 2021.
Thanks to the generous support of FAO to this online water event, we were able to grant free access for all registered attendees. We particularly welcomed participation by experts from Africa, low income countries, women and youth. FAO’s support also ensured open access to all conference related materials.
UNESCO’s contribution to this event also supported this online conference themes, debates and results, particularly on “How can science better inform public policy, governance and capacity building for water, food and health?” (Theme 5).
