The Third Edition of the International Multidisciplinary Workshop on Water, Environment, and Global Health builds on the success of the first two editions, which attracted around one hundred participants focused on the interconnections between water, health, and the environment.
This multidisciplinary event brings together national and international scientists, the general public, and local authorities to tackle the pressing issues of pollution and the health risks associated with various types of contamination, particularly wastewater, plastic pollution, and global warming, and their effects on global health.
In addition to scientific presentations, the workshop will feature sessions for associations and collectives to conduct workshops, present posters, and engage in discussions with participants.
Gain insight in :
- Water pollution, reuse and health risks
- Wastewater and plastic pollution
- Climate change, water scarcity and impact on crops, Global food security amid water stress
