Prof. Dr. Mariele Evers contributed to the panel “Approches nécessaires pour administrer la consommation de l’eau” at the Université de la Paix 2024 in Paris, addressing the critical global challenges of water consumption amid climate change and population growth.
This international dialogue brought together experts to emphasize that mitigating 21st-century water scarcity requires a shift beyond purely technological solutions toward integrated infrastructure, precise resource monitoring, and optimized distribution systems.
The discussions advocated for robust public policies and cross-institutional governance that bridge the gap between scientists, governments, and local communities to foster responsible water use.
Highlighting water as a shared global common good essential for both ecosystems and human well-being, the contributions underscored the necessity of cross-sectoral cooperation and interdisciplinary data to build climate-resilient water management frameworks.
Ultimately, this participation advanced the strategic dialogue on equitable water access, demonstrating that long-term sustainability relies on collaborative, socio-technical decision-making.
