The Platform of International Water Law of the Geneva Water Hub jointly organises with the Quaker United Nations Unis Office (QUNO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the UN Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) a conference on 芦听Conflicts on Water, Land and Food: Prevention and Responses听禄 during the Geneva Peace Week.
Mara Tignino intervenes in the Panel.
Water and land are key natural resources that shape billions of peoples鈥� livelihoods, food security, wellbeing and identity. The equitable and peaceful management of water and land is an increasingly challenging task due to a multitude of factors such as resource degradation, climate change, population growth and violent conflict that can exacerbate vulnerabilities.
Multi-faceted policies and practices that combine approaches from development, peacebuilding and human rights in a complementary and mutually reinforcing way present potential for preventing both structural and direct violence. This event will discuss the potential of land, food and water as instruments of peace in preventing conflicts and building peace in emergency situations.
The Conference takes place on the 7th of November from 18.00 to 19.30 at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) (De Mello Room).
