Register today for UNESCO Frontiers in Global Water Science Webinar Series January 30th!
Join UNESCO for the first webinar in this series: “Water Quality and the Global Goals for Sustainability” by Dr. Joseph Alcamo, University of Sussex (UK)
UNESCO is pleased to announce the launch of our Monthly Webinar Series commemorating the UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme’s 50th anniversary and 60 years of water sciences at UNESCO.
This comprehensive series, “Frontiers of Global Water Science,” brings together distinguished experts from the UNESCO Water Family and their international partners for in-depth discussions on critical water challenges and innovations.
Join the webinar on 30 January, 2025 from 13:00 to 14:00 (CET) featuring Dr. Joseph Alcamo (University of Sussex) on “Water Quality and the Global Goals for Sustainability.” Using the WorldQual model, Prof. Alcamo will present findings on river pollution across three continents, showing how bacterial contamination affects one-third of river-kilometers and impacts public health. He will also explore ecological solutions and management approaches for developing countries, highlighting science’s role in addressing these challenges.
Joseph Alcamo is Professor of Environmental Systems Science at the University of Sussex and Director of the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP). His extensive experience in environmental systems science and dedication to sustainable development make him an ideal speaker to kick off our series. The presentation will be followed by a 15-minute Q&A session where participants can engage directly with Prof. Alcamo.
Throughout 2025, these monthly webinars will promote knowledge exchange and strengthen collaborations within our global water science community.
