SIWI Seminar Series (2/3): The art of water diplomacy (2024)

  BRIDGE     Video     Water Diplomacy  

Building on the first, theoretical, session, the second session of the series aims to answer a key question: what does water diplomacy look like in practice?

While continuing to address the questions outlined in the first session, Session 2 focuses on practical questions of identifying interests, managing the process, building political will and trust, addressing asymmetries, managing uncertainty and complexities, and more. Learn about the key actors and stakeholders, the tools required, and what successful outcomes look like.

The session will be broadly divided into two sections. First, practitioners from different fields will present their experiences, both grassroots and state-level actors, while highlighting the key role of third-party actors. Second, a panel discussion with diverse representatives from multiple levels will give insights into the cross-disciplinary collaboration required to conduct  water diplomacy.

This session was convened by: SIWI, IUCN, UNESCO and EcoPeace
