Description

The International Water Association and its Water Policy & Regulation Agenda are organising this webinar as part of the 2024 EU Green Week activities.

The 2024 EU Green Week is part of a wider communication campaign dedicated to water resilience. The objective is to stimulate an EU-wide conversation around the EU’s water present and future, with an emphasis on fostering awareness and promoting positive, collaborative solutions.

As a partner event, this webinar is developed under the overarching theme of Water Resilience. It will explore the critical role of regulatory frameworks in ensuring that water resources are efficiently, safely and sustainably developed, managed and used. The webinar seeks to unravel the intricate interplay between regulations, technological advancements, and collaborative efforts, offering a nuanced exploration of how these elements converge to foster water resilience.

Learning Objectives

During this webinar, participants will be able to learn more about:

  • Adaptive Regulatory Strategies: How can regulatory frameworks adapt to the dynamic challenges of water management in pursuit of greater resilience?
  • Technology Integration: How can technological advances enhance regulatory processes aimed at greater water resilience?
  • Cross-Sectoral Collaboration: How can institutional arrangements and cross-sectoral collaboration among regulators, utilities, and communities contribute to achieving water resilience goals?
