Flowing forward: navigating water sustainability in agriculture on the road to COP28
The FAO Regional Office for Asia-Pacific together with the FAO’s Inter-Regional Technical Platform on Water Scarcity (IRTPWS) and the Australian Water Partnership is conducting a series of webinars to launch the Next Generation Water Management Policy Briefs. These publications aim to inform policymakers about the improved approaches to water management for agriculture and food security, developed by FAO and its partners.
This first webinar, ‘Flowing Forward: Navigating Water Sustainability in Agriculture on the Road to COP28’, aims at presenting these innovative tools and methodologies for sustainable water management across Asia and the Pacific region.
The webinar will focus on:
- real water savings in agriculture and enhancement of crop-water productivity using a Real Water Savings tool and water accounting methodologies;
- irrigation performance benchmarking to improve overall productivity of irrigational services;
- application of consumption-based water management in irrigation-dependent regions across Asia;
- water modelling capabilities across the Asia-Pacific region and their role in policy development and execution.
