The pressing environmental, water security and justice challenges in the Middle East and around the world are amplified by poor management of complex human¬ natural systems in the face of climate change. Rising to these challenges requires robust scientific investigations and political consensus for a sustainable growth trajectory. Join us for a conversation with Professor Kaveh Madani about lessons from our successes and failures and the way forward. Professor Madani is the Director of the United Nations University Institute of Water, Environment and Health, known as the UN Think Tank on Water. He is an internationally acclaimed scientist and educator who leads research and policy solutions to address the growing global water and environmental crises.
