GWP on Water Governance
On Thursday 29 August, GWP is co-convening a seminar about the strong and weak dimensions of water governance.
The focus of the seminar will be on implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1, 6 and 16, including gaps that exist between objectives and results such as delays in implementation of laws and their enforcement. What do laws tell us about the values and guiding principles that govern water allocations? Is it true that a more effective governance is less democratic and more autocratic? What role does science play in raising awareness of biophysical limitations and contribute to trust building? This seminar aims to give participants a better understanding of cultural, moral, religious and ethical dimensions of allocations, including a human rights based approach - more information available through the WWW schedule.
