Access to water, sanitation and hygiene is a human right. It is essential to health, food security, human rights, ecosystems and for many industries and energy sectors. And even though the proportion of the world’s population having access to safe drinking water has increased over the years, increased water demand, water scarcity and cross-sectional coordination remain a challenge. How can we reduce the inequalities of water between populations and countries to improve health and social equality without compromising this finite resource?   

To find solutions to complex challenges, multiple disciplines are needed. Join us and get inspired by our presenters who will talk about different aspects of the goal and through group discussions collectively shape the discussion on the future development of water justice.
