Description
Topic:
Climate change and groundwater: resilience building and adaptation strategies. Objectives: The overall objective of this webinar is to discuss resilience-building, adaptation, and mitigation strategies to climate change - induced changes in the quantity and quality of groundwater in Barcelona and Lisbon.
Three HE projects related to groundwater (Mar2Protect, UpWater, & NINFA), all part of the ZeroPollution4Water Cluster, and two local policy makers will share their expert insights. Our webinar aims to shed light on the pressing water challenges facing the Iberian Peninsula.
We will engage experts from Lisbon and Barcelona in discussions surrounding water resilience issues exacerbated by climate change, increasing the awareness on climate change and its impacts on groundwater quantity and quality, contributing to a better understanding of the hydrological cycle to improve the use of water resources, a broad uptake of knowledge sharing breakthrough solutions and innovative technologies for pollution prevention and mitigation as well as for enhancing our general understanding on pollution sources, pollution pathways and impacts, recognizing the potential synergistic effects of multiple stressors on groundwater quality.
This session is a contribution to EU Green Week's objectives of promoting dialogue and collaborative action towards environmental sustainability. We are excited about the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations who share our dedication to water resilience and climate adaptation.
