As climate change intensifies droughts, floods and water scarcity around the world, strengthening groundwater governance has become more important than ever.

For instance, groundwater is one of the world’s largest sources of freshwater, providing drinking water for around 2.5 billion people. It  sustains agriculture, industry and ecosystems, while playing a critical role in climate adaptation and resilience. Yet despite its importance, groundwater often remains overlooked in policy, planning and investment decisions.

Our webinar “Groundwater Governance in a Changing Climate: Law, Policy and Practical Pathways”, jointly organised by the International Water Resources Association and the Environmental Defense Fund, examines why effective groundwater governance matters and how it can be strengthened as the impacts of climate change intensify.

In a dynamic session featuring keynote presentations, a panel discussion and a round of Q&A, we explore global groundwater risks, legal approaches, data tools and case-based experiences from around the world.

Join us for a timely discussion on the future of groundwater governance in a changing climate.
