Join Foreign Policy next month for a new Virtual Dialogue exploring collaborative solutions for a water-resilient future. 

Experts have been sounding the alarm for decades that the world is rapidly running out of one of its most essential resources: fresh water. Depleted supplies, lack of infrastructure, and water-intensive practices in agriculture and other industries already have caused severe water stress in many parts of the world. Climate change and population growth are exacerbating the issue, particularly in drought-prone areas across the Middle East and North Africa. Posing a growing risk of famines, economic shocks, and water-related conflicts, the water crisis demands urgent action on a global scale. 

Tune in with FP, in partnership with the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, as we convene top government officials, industry experts, and innovators working on the leading edge of securing the future of water. We’ll explore policy strategies and technologies that have the potential to tap into new sources of water, reduce water use, and increase water productivity. Speakers will also address how governments, development organizations, nonprofits, and private sector partners can turn the water challenge into an opportunity for diplomatic engagement and global cooperation.

Hear from these experts:
  • Mariam bint Mohammed Saeed Hareb Almheiri, Minister of State for Food and Water Security, United Arab Emirates
  • Christine Dawson, Director, Office of Conservation and Water in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, U.S. Department of State
  • Vahid Fotuhi, Vice President for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, SOURCE Global
  • Michael Mirilashvili, President and Co-CEO, Watergen
