River imaginaries and climate change adaptation in fishermen, farmers’ communities and modellers

September 8 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm CEST

The Moving Rivers Webinar Series aims at creating a space for inter(trans) disciplinary dialogue between PhD researchers and project partners: International/national NGOs, water policy and advocacy institutes, government water management institutions, and civil society water platforms. These webinar series take place every two months and seek to actively promote exchanges between theory and practice on river regeneration, social-ecological justice, and the formulation of more equitable water policies.

The session on the 8th of September will address the topic: River imaginaries and climate change adaptation in fishermen, farmers’ communities and modellers
