Water

The Water Interest Group seeks to enhance the multidisciplinary knowledge, research, and practice on the use of water as an incentive for peace. Areas of interest include the protection of water infrastructure, migration, and rivers’ rights with a focus on the nexus of land use-water-climate. Members discuss and examine the different scales of cooperation on shared water resources ranging from the global and regional to basin and local levels. The strengths and weaknesses of different models for water management and protection are considered with a view towards preventing and resolving water disputes and helping countries manage water in conflict-recovery scenarios. Collaboration with other institutions and EnPAx interest groups seeks to enhance studies and joint actions on gender, biodiversity, and the role of youth in water management and climate adaptation.

The Chairs of the Water Interest Group are Paula Hanasz (paulahanasz@hotmail.com) and Liliana Pimentel (lilianapimentel@uol.com.br).
