Water Security 2015
9 December 2015 - 11 December 2015
University of Oxford, UK
The first day assesses water security from the perspective of sustainable growth, based on the GWP/OECD report Securing Water, Sustaining Growth. The second and third days advance the risk-based framework for poverty alleviation with the launch of a DFID-funded programme REACH: Improving water security for the poor.
The conference will:
- discuss how a risk-based framework charts pathways to sustainable growth and reduce poverty;
- review the state of water security knowledge in Africa and South Asia;
- help build a global science-practitioner partnership to design new approaches to sustainably deliver water security for millions of poor people.
