W12 Congress - Urban Water Security in Uncertain Times
Due to the current COVID-19 situation W12-Congress organises a “pre-event” to address water security in cities.
Moderated by EcoCiv's President Philip Clayton, this conversation will address how to balance meeting immediate sanitation and access needs while building long-term resilience. How can we use opportunities in the context of COVID-19 to build back better communities, and how can we most effectively ensure everyone is at the table and trust is core to partnerships?
