To celebrate the World Water Day, Operation Water and the Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA) will organise a seminar session entitled “The water-food-energy nexus: focal points in the context of climate change”, with special emphasis on debating critical challenges and opportunities in the water sector in developing countries.
The event will take place on March 22nd, between 2pm and 6pm, in the Events Room of the ISA main building.

Bringing together a diverse panel of esteemed experts, including regulators, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) experts, economists, engineers, social scientists and consultants, this session promises to explore ideas on how to leverage innovative financing models, develop resilient infrastructure and improve frameworks policymakers to support sustainable water sector development in vulnerable communities.
