'Water security and economic growth in emerging economies', London, UK
Water is a critical global issue and demand will rapidly outstrip supply, especially in fast-growing emerging economies. Water extraction, storage, and use can cause radical change to ecosystems, with wide-ranging impacts.
Focusing on the major emerging economies, this conference will address key issues including:
-the complexities of transboundary water agreements;
-what national plans are for water management in emerging economies;
-how industrial policy and economic growth will be shaped in 'dry' countries;
-what policy innovations can tackle water scarcity;
-which technological innovations can increase water productivity;
what new partnerships and structures can unlock investment in water.For further information, please visit: http://www.chathamhouse.org.uk/water2011/-/?campaign=confalert(opens in new window)
