Registration link for this free webinar

Since 2013 UNEP has applied an IWRM approach in Darfur, Sudan, to improve livelihoods, restore natural resources and reduce conflicts. A strong emphasis on governance and buy in from the state government have been central to the significant results achieved so far and have created the foundation for a long-term positive trajectory.In the presentation both successes and failures will be discussed to give a realistic perspective of what IWRM can achieve and where it falls short.

Strong connections for Sustainable Use and Management of Soil, Sediment and Water Resources

We live in a time of transitions, facing and dealing with climate change, population growth and many other challenges. The awareness grows that a healthy soil-sediment-water system is fundamental to overcome societal challenges and meet societal needs. To retain and promote a vital and healthy soil-water system and at the same time facilitate these transitions, we need to connect people, disciplines, approaches and opportunities and scales. 

Webinar David Hone (April 13th)

Three new scenarios from Shell - Waves, Islands and Sky 1.5 - explore the consequences of near-term choices. The world remains turbulent and full of uncertainties, but the current crises may be a trigger for faster change. Choices today will shape the future global landscape and the energy system for decades to come. The interplay between land use, energy and future warming is also critical. In all three of the new Shell scenarios the energy system is transformed, the issue is speed.
