SUMMARY:Online Conference // 2nd IWRA Online Conference: Water\, Food and Public Health in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:IWRA’s 2021 Online Conference in collaboration with the FAO\, the American University of Beirut\, Texas A&M University\, and the Canadian Water Resources Association will address the critical interlinkages between water\, food\, and public health. The conference’s main goal is to promote the sharing and exchange of the latest scientific and policy knowledge on the links between Water\, Food\, and Public health for the sustainable governance\, use\, and management of these resources globally. \n \nDescription \nCurrently\, the whole world has been focused on public health with the COVID-19 pandemic\, which has also disrupted farming\, production\, and shipping\, highlighting the fragilities of the interconnected systems we all depend upon. Water is a critical factor in both agriculture and food processing\, as well as in nutrition and broader human health issues. This complex nexus of sectors is often treated in silos\, from both science and policy perspectives. Examining the inter-linkages between water\, food and public health is now more critical than ever\, especially as the world changes in response to the stressors of pandemics\, climate change\, population growth\, and urbanization. \nIWRA’s Online Conference in collaboration with the FAO will address these challenges and priorities. The conference will be held from June 7th to 9th\, 2021\, and its main goal is to promote the sharing and exchange of the latest scientific and policy knowledge on the links between Water\, Food\, and Public health for sustainable governance\, use\, and management of these resources globally. \nThemes \n\nHow can we better manage water for food and public health in a changing world?\nHow can agriculture contribute to food security and public health?\nWhat opportunities lie in the improved cooperation between water\, food\, and public health sectors?\nWhat are the synergies or trade-offs between ecosystem health and human health?\nHow can science better inform public policy\, governance\, and capacity building for water\, food\, and health?\n\nRead more about the themes and their supporting topics\, as well as their links to SDGs\, by visiting the conference website here. \nCall for Abstracts \nDeadline: 19 April 2021 \nWe invite experts from all backgrounds\, i.e. academics\, water professionals\, private sector practitioners\, and civil society stakeholders\, who wish to present their work on the indicated theme and related sub-themes at this online conference\, to submit an abstract. Please bear in mind the following: \n\nAbstracts should clearly describe the research objectives\, methods\, findings\, and relevance in a maximum of 400 words\, in English (with no graphs\, references\, or citations)\nAuthors must use the official template and cover the abstract sections detailed in the template. Only word documents (.doc and .docx) will be accepted.\nWhen indicating the theme of your preference for your abstract\, choose one and submit it to online.conference@iwra.org.\n\nRegistration \nRegistration will open soon\, check the conference webpage for the latest news here.

SUMMARY:FAO Water-Energy-Food Nexus Webinar Series Session 9 - Selected experiences with WEF Nexus decision-making: an application in Jordan
DESCRIPTION:This webinar series is organized by the FAO in collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. This ninth session of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus webinar series will summarize the experience of stakeholders in Jordan applying the Water Energy Food (WEF) nexus process\, as well as the outcomes of the analyses as implemented under the direction of FAO. \nDate and Time \nJune 8\, 2021 | 13:00-14:30 GMT+2 \nBackground \nThe Water-Energy-Food Nexus Webinar series is organized by FAO\, in collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The series introduces nexus concepts and gives examples of current efforts and best practices in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region and beyond. Through this series\, participants will gain an understanding of the importance of nexus concepts and learn how to identify nexus challenges\, as well as find appropriate nexus solutions to achieve sustainability\, resilience\, and water security. This series is developed under the regional project\, “Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Water Efficiency/Productivity and Water Sustainability in NENA countries” (WEPS-NENA) under the FAO led regional Water Scarcity Initiative (WSI). This project is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). \nSession Description \nThis session will be presented by Francesco Fuso-Nerini and Camilo Ramirez Gomez from Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)\, and Annette Huber-Lee from Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI). \nIt will summarize the experience of stakeholders in Jordan applying the Water Energy Food (WEF) nexus process\, as well as the outcomes of the analyses as implemented under the direction of FAO. Participants will have an opportunity to explore the WEF nexus integrated platform\, followed by a Q&A session. \nRegistration \nRegister here for Session 9 on Zoom and visit the SEI event page here. \nDetail program agenda is here.
