Policy Dialogue - Water, Conflict and Peace in the Middle East: online
Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to invite you to the next Policy Dialogues from the JHU-UPF Public Policy Center:
The Middle East is a region of both severe water problems, and acute political instability. But what is the relationship between these two things? This Policy Dialogue will provide an opportunity to reflect on this question and its implications. It will overview the region’s water problems, and consider how these problems are – or are not – contributing to conflict. It will also examine, conversely, how war and violence are affecting patterns of water resource degradation and water insecurities, and will reflect on opportunities for water-related peace-building, including on how water for peace initiatives might best be pursued.
We are delighted to invite Natasha Carmi (Water Peace Programme Manager at the Geneva Water Hub) and Jan Selby (Professor of International Politics and Climate Change at the University of Leeds, UK) to share their expertise during this session.
We invite you to join us and explore the complexities of this extremely important issue. You can register here. Please also share this invitation within your networks.
Best regards,
Aeve
