To celebrate the World Water Day, CIHEAM Zaragoza is organising a webinar on 22 March 2024 where experts in the sector will address the most relevant challenges in water management in Mediterranean regions - particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
The session will focus on investment in human capital and on the skills demanded by the sector. In this framework, the organisers will present the new edition of the International Master in Sustainable Water Management and Governance in Natural and Agricultural Environments as a tool to develop the skills required to face water challenges.
Through this webinar, CIHEAM Zaragoza seeks to raise awareness in the scientific, technical, institutional and professional community in the Mediterranean regarding the need to find joint solutions to overcome water resource scarcity in the region.
