You are cordially invited to celebrate the World Water Day in 2024, and join IAHR that is organizing a “Webinar on Water Engineering Pathways Towards Net Zero” on March 28, Thursday to discuss and identify what we know and don’t know about opportunities and threats associated to water engineering that need to be evaluated to guarantee that mitigation efforts can be sustainable. This online event brings together global leaders and experts to provide insight into knowledge gaps, opportunities and ways forward to achieve “net zero”.
Based on decades of research and scientific dissemination, IAHR experts from different TCs will share perspectives and stress the need for further studies on critical water-related issues to convey the interdependency between water and climate change mitigation.
