Water management *is* conflict management. Regardless of the scale, ensuring that the needs of the people and ecosystems that rely on this critical resource are met effectively requires a comprehensive understanding of both water science and water cooperation & diplomacy, including dispute mitigation, management, and resolution. This online seminar will investigate trends in water conflict management worldwide, and survey some skills necessary to address and transform water conflict at different scales, such as between users, sectors, states, and nations.

This online seminar was recorded on 6 March 2018. More info is available on https://www.un-ihe.org/alumni-online-seminars.
