WEBINAR: Water for All: Inclusive Governance and Management in Agriculture WEBINAR, May 2024:  

At the heart of every thriving society lies equitable access to essentialresources, water being paramount among them. As we navigate therealms of agricultural practices in the Asia-Pacific region, it becomesevident that the governance of water isn’t just about hydrology. Infact, it's intertwined with societal structures and nuanced communitydynamics. Through this webinar, in partnership with WSP & NextGen,we aim to explore and emphasize the principles of inclusive watergovernance, understanding whose interests are prioritized andensuring that policy decisions resonate with the lived realities of allstakeholders.

WEBINAR: Flowing Forward: Navigating Water Sustainability in Agriculture on the Road to COP28,19 October 2023:  

As the global community gears up for COP28, the pressing issue of water sustainability in agriculture commands our attention. This webinar sheds light on innovative tools and methodologies paving the way for sustainable water management, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Attendees will learn about the significance of real water savings, better understand the importance of irrigation performance, preview the benefits of consumption-based water management, and be presented with an extensive analysis of water modelling capacities in the Asia-Pacific Region. Furthermore, we'll address institutional barriers and the groundbreaking measures initiated by the Water Scarcity Program (WSP), to catalyze the adoption of these forward-thinking methodologies. 

WEBINAR: Unlocking Waterways: Improving River Connectivity and Restoring Ecosystems, January 2024:  

As the Asia-Pacific region grapples with harmonizing growth and sustainability, our waterways demand immediate attention. Sustainable fisheries, the lifeblood of dietary needs in the region, hinge on the integrity and connectivity of our rivers. Infrastructure, though instrumental for development, has inadvertently compromised the health of vital river basins, particularly the Mekong River Basin. In this webinar, we venture into the heart of these challenges, exploring innovative solutions and emphasizing the need to restore and reconnect.
