Climate change: water law responses to scarcity around the world
Wednesday 5 November (1115 - 1230)
Committee(s)
Water Law Committee
(Lead)
Description
Climate change and the resulting water stress which affects many countries require technological solutions that allow the incorporation of new water sources or better use of those currently available. The objective of the panel is to analyse these new technologies, as well as to review the responses that different systems of water law can offer to provide legal certainty to entrepreneurs, reconciling the interests of current owners, such as environmental protection and the future sustainability of water sources.
