Photo: Sanjiv De Silva[/caption]\n\nWhile women play important rol es in the reproductive and productive spheres of rural life in Cambodia\, decision making around production remains a male domain\, restricting oppo rtunities for women to become agents of development. Men and women agree t hat women’s educational attainment is a key determinant of women’s inf luence over decisions around production. Both genders also prioritize educ ation for boys and girls as a means out of poverty. While education can th erefore be a potent entry point to promote agency among women\, the follow ing inter-community and intra-community differences in access to education make clear the importance of planning interventions based on a sound unde rstanding of contextual disparities.\n\nIn the farming village of Santai i n Sien Reap Province\, primary and secondary schools are accessible throug h low-cost transport. School attendance is high among both genders. In the fishing commune (cluster of villages) of Phat Sanday (Kampong Thom provin ce)\, however\, only primary schools are located in each of the five villa ges. Transport by boat to the secondary school near the commune’s admini strative hub is expensive for poorer families concentrated in the villages furthest from the school. Transport by land is not an option. Most girls (and boys) in these villages thus only complete primary school\, and the g irls are at risk of repeating their mothers’ life histories. Secondary s chool remains the privilege of the more affluent\, often residing closer t o the administrative hub. Here livelihood opportunities such as shops sell ing clothes\, household goods and fisheries equipment are far greater give n proximity to the mainland\; greater purchasing power of local residents and access to information\, communications and the highly influential comm une council – the seat of commune administration and conduit for flows o f financial aid and training. A boat donated by the government for subsidi zed transport to children from the farther villages was appropriated by a council member\, and a request to the council to build a hostel next to th e secondary school to avoid daily transport costs was not listed as a deve lopment priority. Women’s agency therefore lies embedded within a broade r architecture of poverty including spatial location\, financial capabilit y\, access to markets and services\, and the ability to hold local power s tructures accountable.\n\n[/su_spoiler]\n\n[su_spoiler title="Sonali Sener atne Sellamuttu" anchor="story3" style="fancy"]\nGendered decision-making and livelihood adoption in resettled communities\nThe Mekong region is exp eriencing massive investment with respect to hydropower development and a persistent challenge is to ensure that hydropower-related resettled commun ities are provided with improved livelihood opportunities. Despite the imp lementation of multifaceted livelihood packages based on consultations wit h affected communities\, adoption by households often remains a problem. O ur research in Lao PDR showed that part of the issue may lie in these stra tegies being designed without taking into account for a multiplicity of fa ctors that contribute to overall wellbeing of men and women\, as well as o f different ethnic groups. For example\, hydropower companies tend to focu s on the material aspects of wellbeing when designing livelihoods.\n\n[cap tion id="attachment_27990" align="alignleft" width="600"] A woman in a hyd ropower-related resettlement site weaving in her new home. Photo: IWMI[/ca ption]\n\nBut relational and subjective aspects of wellbeing often intertw ine with material aspects\, and understanding the subjective differences i n attitudes\, feelings and aspirations of men and women that impinge on de cision and its costs and benefits is crucial. For example\, women’s cont rol over decisions on riverbank gardening decreased due to newly enforced land use patterns\, with resultant material costs for both women and men. The control of women over decisions on weaving on the other hand increased with material benefits for both women and men\, and relational and subjec tive benefits for women. Such analyses provide a better understanding of w hy some household members accept and others reject livelihood options offe red by hydropower companies\, and what changes need to be made.

It is estimated that there are roughly 22 million irrigation pumps in Bangladesh\, India\, Nepal and Pakistan. Groundwater pumping\, f uelled by either electricity or diesel\, has substantial carbon footprint. With growing concerns about climate change and carbon emissions from agri culture\, the South Asian countries have pledged nationally determined con tribution (NDC) commitments for reducing emissions from agriculture throug h promotion of solar irrigation\, among other initiatives.\n\n\n\nThe Inte rnational Water Management Institute (IWMI)\, through funding from the Swi ss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC)\, has embarked on a four-year project called SoLAR. The goal of the project is to contribute to climate- resilient\, gender-equitable\, and socially inclusive agrarian livelihoods in Bangladesh\, India\, Nepal\, and Pakistan by supporting government eff orts to promote solar irrigation. So far\, more than 200\,000 solar irriga tion pumps (SIPs) have been installed in the region\, but often without ex plicit consideration for groundwater sustainability and gender and equity concerns. SoLAR project will work closely with all relevant stakeholders t o support development of gender and socially inclusive\, and groundwater r esponsive solar irrigation policies.\n\n\n\nThe purpose of the Inception W orkshop is to formally launch the project in presence of all its partners and finalize a collaborative work plan for 2020. More than 50 participants \, including all relevant government agencies from the four South Asian co untries\, as well as participants from the International Solar Alliance wi ll join IWMI researchers and SDC representatives for a two-day deliberatio n at the IWMI Headquarters in Colombo on 21st and 22nd of January to discu ss and approve the workplan for the year 2020.

This ambitious agrifood system transformation agenda involves reconciling trade-offs acro ss poverty reduction\, food security\, nutrition\, and environmental goals . At the same time\, it has prompted governments to undertake a variety of policy interventions aimed at accelerating agrifood system transformation . Yet\, in the face of advancing globalization\, rapidly modernizing econo mies\, income growth\, dietary changes\, and a changing climate\, the choi ce of such policy interventions is not always a simple or once-off decisio n. National polices need to keep adapting to the changing global landscape and the rising complexity of local economies. The COVID-19 pandemic and i ts effects on Africa’s agrifood systems have shown the complex policy ch oices and trade-offs faced by African policymakers.\n\nFind out more at ht tps://conference.resakss.org LOCATION:\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-258@iwmi.org DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Maseru:20201109T150000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Maseru:20201109T160000 DTSTAMP:20201109T110405Z URL:https://www.iwmi.org/events/integrating-natural-and-built-infrastructu re-in-water-resources-development-whats-stopping-us/ SUMMARY:Integrating natural and built infrastructure in water resources dev elopment – what’s stopping us?

Waste can build up in pits or tanks leaving the poorest and most isolated with a growing volume of sludge that has become a health and env ironmental timebomb.\n\nPoor sanitation results in death and disease. It a lso costs the global economy an estimated US$223 billion a year through lost work time. And it also comes with a social cost\, entrenching prejudi ces such as the stigmatization of the Dalit caste in India as the country ’s toilet emptiers.\n\nIf the world is to achieve the UN’s goal of pr oviding adequate sanitation and ending open defecation worldwide in the n ext 10 years\, the faecal waste crisis must be addressed in a systematic w ay using fresh thinking.\n\nFor World Toilet Day 2020 we have pulled toget her recent stories and examples of IWMI research that aim to reduce the wa ste burden with applied technologies\, business models promoting a waste-b ased circular economy and policies that support public-private partnership s.\n\n[/td_block_text_with_title][/vc_column][vc_column width="5"][vc_empt y_space height="110px"][td_block_text_with_title]\n\n[caption id="attachme nt_40197" align="aligncenter" width="1920"] Pit latrine emptiers in Bangla desh collect and transport human waste to a site where it is processed int o fertiliser.

After all\, we’ve worked on projects in freshwater wetlands from Ghana to Myanmar\, and understand how critical t hese freshwater wetlands are for food and work.\n\n\n\nMost importantly\, perhaps\, is the role of wetlands in climate change. They provide protecti on against storm surges and coastal flooding\, and also vital carbon stora ge systems: some wetlands can store up to 50 times more carbon than rainfo rests\, and they play an important role in water purification.\n\n\n\nThey are vital for our today\, and they are vital for our tomorrow.

The approach ena bles participants to contribute to the 2021 Food Systems Summit by buildin g on efforts already underway\, working together on pathways that lead to sustainable food systems\, and setting out intentions and commitments in t he run up to the Summit. These Dialogues contribute to shaping the pathway s which will lead to equitable and sustainable food systems by 2030. They will also be valuable to the different work streams preparing for the Food Systems Summit: the Action Tracks\, Scientific Groups and Champions as we ll as for other Dialogues.\n\nThe Dialogues are moments for: engaging acto rs in the food systems approach\, in unusual ways\; enabling them to explo re ideas together\; encouraging creativity\, emphasising equity\; emerging more powerfully through connections\; elaborating pathways\, intentions a nd commitments together.\n\nThe International Water Management Institute ( IWMI) and global and regional partners have committed to host a series of multi-stakeholder dialogues that emphasise water’s transformative role i n food systems. The objective is to bring the discussion on food and water systems in a changing climate to the global policy level and to provide t angible inputs into the discussion of the UNFSS.

Scarcity is rapidly growing as a result of cl imate change and rapid increases in water demand for other uses. Consideri ng that Egypt’s agri-food system provided critical cushioning for econom ic growth\, jobs\, and household income negatively impacted by the COVID-1 9 pandemic\, it is paramount that more consideration is given to the impor tant role of water security for Egypt’s food systems. With agriculture u tilizing over 80% of Egypt’s water resources\, meeting these challenges will require bold actions and new mindsets directed at water and food syst ems transformations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.\n\nJoin us for an Independent Dialogue convened in partnership between the Interna tional Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)\, the International Water Ma nagement Institute (IWMI) and the International Center for Agricultural Re search in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) to discuss the role of Water Security for Food Systems Transformation in Egypt. Insights emerging from this multi-s takeholder dialogue will be presented to the United Nations Food System Su mmit (UNFSS) in September 2021. Transforming #foodsystems is among the mos t powerful ways to make progress towards all 17 #SDGS.\n\nThis dialogue wi ll discuss the importance of water security for all aspects of Egypt’s f ood systems\, with a focus on equity\, inclusion\, capacity\, innovation a nd sustainability\, including insights on how food systems need to change to improve water security (SDG 6)\, help eliminate hunger (SGD2)\, support energy security (SDG 7)\, improve climate adaptation and mitigation actio n (SDG 13) and help retain all life on land (SDG 15).\n\nThis pre-UNFSS202 1 session therefore seeks to unpack the question: What is the role of wate r in transforming Egypt’s food systems for improved water and food secur ity and environmental sustainability?  Speakers and panelists from Egypt and beyond will engage in interactive group discussions\, collective brain storming\, and agenda-setting. As Egypt and the MENA region map out the ro ad to UNFSS 2021\, the dialogue will discuss key messages that need to be heard at UNFSS 2021.\n\nWe invite everyone working to advance transformati ve water and food systems to join this Dialogue.\n\nCurators: Dr. Clemens Breisinger &\; Dr. Claudia Ringler (IFPRI)\, Dr. Amgad Elmahdi (IWMI)\, and Dr. Jacques Wery (ICARDA)\n[su_table responsive="yes"]\n\n\n\nTopic\n Curator\nTime Allocation\n\n\nIntroduction\, scene-setting\, and order of the day\nYumna Kassim\, IFPRI\n3 mins\n\n\nThe Road to UNFSS2021: Achievin g water and food security\nJoachim von Braun (Chair of the Scientific Grou p for the UNFSS) – by video\n5 mins\n\n\nWater and Food System Transform ations in Egypt\nIFPRI\n5 mins\n\n\nThe Need for System Transformation: A few thoughts from policy\nMahmoud Abou Zeid (President of the Arab Water C ouncil) (tbc)\n5 mins\n\n\nCrop-level Solutions\nICARDA\n5 mins\n\n\nNew W ater Solutions\nIWMI\n5 mins\n\n\nIntroduction to breakout groups\nYumna K assim\, IFPRI\n3 mins\n\n\n6 Breakout group discussion\nAll\n40 mins\n\n\n Feedback from breakouts\nAll\n30 mins\n\n\nPanel discussion on the way for ward\nModerator: Claudia Ringler\, IFPRI\n\n·         Phil Riddel l\, Advisor MWRI (tbc)\n\n·         Hammou Laamrani\, League of A rab States (tbc)\n\n·         Dina Saleh\, IFAD (tbc)\n\n·          Yasser AlShayeb\, COEW-AUC (tbc)\n\n·         Hassan H usseiny\, Gebal Egypt (tbc)\n\n·         Farmer representative: t bd\n\n \;\n25 mins\n\n\nWrap-up of key messages and next steps\nTBD\n5 mins\n\n\n\n[/su_table]\n\nThe Dialogue is expected to gather around 100 participants/stakeholders from Egypt and regional and international partne rs. Arabic translation will be available\, except in breakout rooms.\n\nTh ematic areas for breakout group discussions:\n\n Food and Water Systems i n a Changing Climate \n\nKey questions: How can we retain water and food s ecurity under climate change in Egypt (and the MENA region)? Do we need to change or expand water sources\, change commodities\, sustainable develop ment\, multi-functional and benefits infrastructure\, governance beyond wa ter (nexus governance)\, etc.?\n\n Policy Coherence and Institutional Coo rdination across Water and Food Security in Egypt\n\nKey questions: What p ractical steps can/should be taken to ensure policy coherence and institut ional coordination to jointly improve water and food security in Egypt to meet the future needs? Are policy/institutional set-ups encouraging partne rships and investments by private sector?\n\n Equity Considerations in ac cess to affordable Water and Food\n\nKey questions: How can we improve equ ity in access to water and food and nutrition security for the poorest? Ar e current government policies adequate? Do we need to go beyond water and food policy to nexus policy?\n\n Digitally informed climate-smart Solutio ns for agri-food Transformation in Egypt\n\nKey questions: Have we fully e xplored all technological\, innovative and agronomic solutions to improve water and agricultural productivity in Egypt’s food production systems? Are we producing the right agricultural commodities (including livestock a nd fisheries)? How can we eliminate water pollution in Egypt? Produce more with less water and energy? Are we adopting and investing in the right di gital Climate Smart Agriculture?\n\n Food System Efficiency beyond Produc tion for a Greener and more resilient Future? \n\nKey questions: What acti ons are needed to improve food systems beyond production\, along the value chain\, with no harm for natural resources? This includes water use in fo od processing\, preparation\, transportation\, retailing\, and consumption . This also includes the role of water in international and regional trade .\n\n Food Systems Changes for improved Water Security\n\nKey question: H ow can we change Egypt’s food systems to support all aspects of SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation? This could include changing diets\, changing food processing practices\, de-risking agricultural systems\, redesigning the farming system\, eco-nexus farming?\n\n\n\n \;\n\n[su_note note_co lor="#eff7fd" text_color="#323232" radius="0" class=""]About the UNFSS Dia logues\n\nThe Food Systems Summit Dialogues are an approach for enabling s ystematic\, inclusive opportunities for stakeholders to be engaged in food systems.

Today we are showcasing the esse ntial contributions of IWMI’s female staff members in achieving water se curity for all and highlighting the gaps in gender equity that must be add ressed. We are also sharing key areas in which our broader gender portfoli o tackles major issues\, from the digital revolution and inclusion to enab ling more effective collective action in delivering water to households at a grassroots level.\n\nThis year’s theme set by the UN is “Gender equ ality today for a sustainable tomorrow\,” recognizing the inextricable l ink between gender equality and environmental sustainability. At every ste p in our mission to bring water security for all\, IWMI’s work is influe nced and led by women\, from rural farmers recycling rainwater and women c ollectives managing water sources to researchers working on improvements t o urban sanitation systems. Without women\, a sustainable tomorrow is unac hievable and without equity for all\, a fair water future will not be poss ible.\n\nJoin IWMI and our partners around the world in celebrating Intern ational Women’s Day\, every day.\n\n[/td_block_text_with_title][/vc_colu mn_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/1"][vc_emp

Attendance is free\, and pre-registrat ion is required.\n\nThe schedule\, speakers and registration information a re available at https://www.dickinson.edu/climatesymposium\n\nThe symposiu m is timely\, coming as the IPCC has released three recent assessment repo rts on climate change and on the eve of the 27th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change\, known as COP27\, a w orld gathering where next steps for achieving global goals of the Paris Ag reement on climate change will be negotiated.\n\n“Hosting the symposium at Dickinson puts our students right in the thick of things\, having direc t access to scientific and policy leaders who are grappling with one of th e world’s greatest challenges\,” said Neil Leary\, chair of the sympos ium and a participant in past IPCC assessments. “Our goal is to engage t he speakers in conversations with each other and with our students about f indings from the IPCC assessment\, why they matter and how they can be use d to mobilize more ambitious and equitable actions on climate change\,” said Leary\, who also leads Dickinson’s Center for Sustainability Educat ion. For decades\, the IPCC’s reports have informed and galvanized actio n by governments\, businesses\, nonprofits and activists to reduce climate change risks.\n\n“We welcome this opportunity to strengthen the nexus o f climate change science and academia\, allowing us to educate and engage new and diverse groups of young future scientists\,” said Hoesung Lee\, the Chair of the IPCC. “This constant renewal of our volunteer scientifi c force is critical for preserving IPCC’s authoritative voice. Our world is at a historic crossroads\, and the global importance of IPCC’s work on assessing and communicating scientific knowledge about our climate cann ot be overstated. It is the foundation of informed and effective action on climate change.”\n\n"The work of the IPCC aligns strongly with the miss ion and values of Dickinson\,” said college President John E. Jones III. “As an institution that is committed to working toward a world that is socially\, economically and environmentally sustainable\, we are excited f or this opportunity to share the IPCC’s critical work with the Dickinson community and the public.”\n\nThe symposium celebrates the awarding of the 2022 Sam Rose ’58 and Julie Walters Prize at Dickinson College for G lobal Environmental Activism to the IPCC in recognition of the panel’s i mportant work producing and communicating scientific knowledge that is the foundation of informed and effective action on climate change. The IPCC p lans to use the $100\,000 prize money to further fund the IPCC Scholarship Programme\, which provides scholarships for Ph.D. students from developin g countries to conduct research that advances understanding of climate cha nge risks and response strategies.\n\nLeading climate experts\, including IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee\, will participate in the symposium.

Wetlands reduce t he force of floodwater yet increase the supply of freshwater to aquifers. To 40% of plant and animal species\, wetlands are the place they know as h ome––and this vital ecosystem contributes to protecting our planet  f or all through carbon sequestration\, mitigating climate change.\n\nHuman activity has significantly degraded  wetlands\, but we can still take act ion to safeguard these vulnerable ecosystems.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=RvxvNEr0OLc\n\nTogether\, we can restore what has been lost and wor k to ensure the sustainable management of wetlands. Indeed\, this is possi ble––and IWMI has been making strides to promote the wise use of wetla nds for the past two decades and counting.\n\nCurrently\, IWMI researchers are working with communities to revive wetland management across South As ia and Africa. At our headquarters in Sri Lanka\, IWMI is increasing the r esilience of biodiversity and livelihoods in Colombo’s Ramsar-accredited wetlands through community management and monitoring. We are utilizing da ta collection and modeling to close water storage gaps\, enhancing water s ecurity throughout South Asia. In Africa\, our researchers and partners re cently completed a project focused on safeguarding wetlands to improve foo d security and nutrition for smallholder farmers in Mali and Ethiopia.\n\n This World Wetlands Day\, we welcome you to explore our resources on this page to learn more about the ecology of wetlands and consider how you can join us in reviving and restoring these critical ecosystems.\n\n[vc_row fu ll_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content" row_bg_gradient="eyJ0eXBlIj oiZ3JhZGllbnQiLCJjb2xvcjEiOiJyZ2JhKDMwLDExNSwxOTAsMC4zMykiLCJjb2xvcjIiOiIj ZmZmZmZmIiwibWl4ZWRDb2xvcnMiOltdLCJkZWdyZWUiOiIiLCJjc3MiOiJiYWNrZ3JvdW5kOi Atd2Via2l0LWxpbmVhci1ncmFkaWVudCgwZGVnLCNmZmZmZmYscmdiYSgzMCwxMTUsMTkwLDAu MzMpKTtiYWNrZ3JvdW5kOiBsaW5lYXItZ3JhZGllbnQoMGRlZywjZmZmZmZmLHJnYmEoMzAsMT E1LDE5MCwwLjMzKSk7IiwiY3NzUGFyYW1zIjoiMGRlZywjZmZmZmZmLHJnYmEoMzAsMTE1LDE5 MCwwLjMzKSJ9"][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_empty_space][td_flex_block_1 cust om_title="Related Content" category_id="58" ajax_pagination="load_more" td c_css="" block_template_id="td_block_template_2" header_text_color="#28537 d" td_ajax_preloading="preload" f_header_font_size="40" f_header_font_fami ly="" f_header_font_weight="700" limit="3" m2f_title_font_family="99" imag e_width="" image_floated="" meta_padding="" image_radius="20" image_height ="56" meta_info_horiz="" modules_category="image" modules_category_margin= "" show_cat="none" hide_image="" show_review="none" show_author="none" sho w_btn="none" modules_on_row="33.33333333%" h_effect="shadow" excerpt_col=" " show_com="none" show_excerpt="" show_audio="none" f_title_font_style="no rmal" f_title_font_family="99" f_title_font_weight="600" f_ex_font_style=" normal" tag_slug="wetlands\, wetland\, biodiversity "][/vc_column][/vc_row ] END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0-401@iwmi.org DTSTART:20230202T130000Z DTEND:20230202T140000Z DTSTAMP:20230119T085010Z URL:https://www.iwmi.org/events/nexus-gains-talk-8-a-nexus-agreement-on-bi odiversity-23-global-targets-for-nature-and-people/ SUMMARY:NEXUS Gains Talk #8: A Nexus Agreement on Biodiversity: 23 Global T argets for Nature and People DESCRIPTION:This seminar will briefly review the goals\, helping to transla te them for Nexus researchers\, and discuss implications and opportunities for research and development activities.

In absence of a for mal waste disposal system and due to strategic complementarities\, househo lds have incentives to take actions increasing in the number of peers who take the same action. Using nationally representative data from rural Indi a from two rounds\, I find evidence of neighbourhood peer effects in waste disposal actions of households. The results show that in-group peer effec ts are higher among own caste members compared to out-group peer effects. There is heterogeneity across caste groups indicating different abilities of different caste groups to coordinate actions.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\n Saheli is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the Centre for Quantitati ve Economics and Data Science at Birla Institute of Technology\, Mesra.

These methods involve water accounting principles tha t view rivers primarily as economic assets\, subject to authoritative and controlling approaches. The ongoing climate crisis and grassroots resistan ce movements are revealing that the existing framework of water science an d implementation is influenced by notions of masculinity and arrogance.\n\ nThroughout history\, even the most advanced models in complex systems\, p hysics-mathematics\, engineering hydrology\, and civil engineering designs have failed to adequately resolve conflicts over water and the inequities in its distribution at various geographical scales. Contrary to prevailin g discourse\, the physical sciences alone have not yielded definitive rule s or solutions for effectively managing and governing the intricate intera ction between moving waters and human labor.\n\nPolicy and practice often draws from the perspectives of multilateral organisations\, financial inst itutions\, and academic thinking originating in the global north. These sources tend to overlook the everyday political dynamics\, lived experienc es\, and emotional realities of people at the grassroots level. Consequent ly\, the process of generating knowledge production itself is disregarded\ , resulting in oversimplified narratives about water insecurity.\n\nTo ref lect on the current paradigm and transform it\, we need to create pedagog ic tools for justice such as action research\, humanities and critical thi nking\, along with communication\, and activism\; and nurture policy and p ractice spaces to welcome representation. To reshape the trajectory of wat er science and practice\, making it more decolonized\, inclusive\, diverse \, and fair- we also need to study institutions producing these dominant forms of knowledge to engage with them.\n\nTransformation in the current p aradigm of doing water science and practice requires exploration of pedago gical tools that promote critical thinking and justice. Visual arts\, acti on research\, humanities\, critical thinking\, and science communication c an be some of these methods for inquiry and activism. Additionally\, creat ing spaces in policy and practice that value diverse representation is cru cial. To reshape the course of water science and practice\, making it mor e inclusive\, diverse\, and equitable\, we must also examine the instituti ons responsible for generating the dominant discourses and actively engag e with them. This approach can hope to shift the trajectory towards a more decolonized and just way of research and practice and provide more agency to marginalised alternative narratives.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nNeha Kh andekar is a researcher and policy advisor on issues concerning water mana gement\, and climate change. Her vision is to build a plural and diverse r esearch\, policy and practice space - one which promotes and respects dive rsity\, equity and inclusion of all knowledge forms and all voices.\n\n[/s u_spoiler]\n\n[su_spoiler title="Webinar 12:\nHow good is our meteorologic al data to conduct climate change-based studies?" style="fancy" open="no"] \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Haider Ali\, Newcastle University\, The United Kingdom\nD ate: 17 Jujy 2023\nTime: 3pm IST\n\nPlease register in advance to attend t he talk.

Therefore\, it is imperative to understand the drivers of extreme even ts for climate change adaptation and risk assessment. The uncertainty in u nderstanding drivers and processes governing extreme events remains due to a poor understanding of thermodynamic and dynamic processes as well as da ta limitations. Due to the unavailability of sub-daily observations\, stud ies rely on alternate sources like reanalyses\, satellite or climate model outputs for their analysis. However\, these alternate sources of data (pr ecipitation and temperatures) poorly represent actual observations\, which highlights the need for ground-based observations for robust analysis. Ad vancement has been made to collect the global sub-daily data to enhance th e proper understanding of the change in extreme events.\n\nThe important q uestion is “how good is our observational data quality-controlled?” to trust them for conducting such studies. In this talk\, I shall discuss th e global sub-daily rainfall data (GSDR) and temperatures from HadISD\, the ir quality control\, and some examples of studies (developing extreme prec ipitation-temperature relationships\; scaling) using them. I shall also co nclude how better gauge measurement precision and quality control methods can provide us with robust scaling results.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nDr. H aider Ali is a Research Associate and RENKEI ECR fellow in the School of E ngineering at Newcastle University. He has around five years’ experience in engineering and environmental hydrology in research with a focus on un derstanding the effects of climate change on extreme rainfall events and f looding. His research interests include trends\, variability and physical understanding of changing extreme events\, temperature scaling\, monsoon s ystems\, design flood estimation and water resources management.

Existing literature in water gover nance studies employs the question of scarcity\, access and conflict\, pow er and hierarchy\, and materiality embedded in water. However\, water in t he neoliberal era has been largely negotiated through technologies and inf rastructures introduced by varieties of state\, non-state\, and transnatio nal institutions under the global\, national\, and regional imaginations o f development. These technologies and infrastructures are meant to provide universal access to safe and clean drinking water on time. Therefore infr astructural governance becomes an integral part of water governance. The m ateriality of water and infrastructure shapes access to safe drinking wate r\; however\, biophysical\, geographical\, historical\, spatial\, temporal \, and social characteristics of water and infrastructure enable or restri ct drinking water service provision in everyday life.\n\nIn this given con text\, this research explores the changing nature of rural drinking water services in a fluorosis-affected village in southern Bihar\, a site for an internationally funded project to supply safe drinking water. This paper examines the role of drinking water infrastructures in shaping the landsca pe\, resource accessibility\, social and spatial conditions\, and relation ship among households and local state actors. Through analyzing multiple d rinking water interventions in the study village\, this paper tries to und erstand the notion of uneven social\, spatial\, and power arrangement over access to drinking water. This study uses mixed methods to understand the production of interactions\, negotiations\, and contestations over drinki ng water. It further uses techno-politics framework to examine infrastruct ures as assemblage and configuration.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nAmit Kumar Srivastwa is a Doctoral Scholar in the School of Human Ecology at Ambedkar University Delhi.

This paper inspects the manifestation of water scarcity at a hous ehold scale using the two major framings of water scarcity – objective o r norms-based and subjective or perception-based. Are Darjeeling household s really water scarce? If so\, who and why? What are the water availabilit y limits and their experiences of it? As an exclusive dependence on munici pal supply is not enough to meet basic water needs\, communities in urban settlements of the developing world create water bundles from a combinatio n of available sources which are in turn dependent on a variety of factors such as socio-economic status and the spatial location of households\, am ong many others. Creation of a household water bundle by communities throu gh complex interactions with these institutions illustrates the difficulti es they face in acquiring a basic amenity such as water. The composition a nd proportions of a water bundle are primarily dependent on the financial resources available to a household\, and its spatial proximity to the wate r sources. The quantity of water varies according to the sources that make up the water bundle. Water bundles and daily per capita consumption is pr imarily determined by homeownership and spatial location. Lack of land ten ure does not allow informal households to connect to the formal network. H aving a water bundle with a single water source does not always imply suff iciency but also a lack of alternatives. The difficulty in creating a suff icient quantity of water causes physical and mental stresses forcing the h ouseholds to take up coping mechanisms. The lack of basic entitlement\, su fficient water in this case\, culminates into the making of the residents as disconnected citizens of the state.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nRinan ha s a PhD from Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment.

India stands out in the food-water nexus as the country that withdraws and consumes the largest volume of freshwater resources globally\, mostly for the production of basic staple crops of rice and wheat that account for m ore than 80% of total agricultural water use. Rapidly receding water level s cause concern for future agricultural production and require urgent meas ures to manage water withdrawals for agriculture. In India\, excessive pro duction and consumption of cereal crops\, overdependence of milk products and an increased consumption of ultra-processed foods has been a concern. Despite agricultural production growing six-fold in the last five decades\ , India continues to face high levels of malnutrition. In light of this in formation\, we assess policy instruments to reduce pressures on water reso urces\, while at the same time\, limiting adverse impacts on water intensi ve cereal production systems\, inclusive of land-use changes and economic welfare. We also assess the role of dietary changes on environmental impac ts. With multiple policy tools\, we analyze the implications on key enviro nmental indicators including land\, water\, GHG emissions and biodiversity . Our results offer insights into the different mechanisms that these poli cies drive\, and trade-offs on important agroeconomic indicators and offer the choice for climate change adaptation decision-making based on other f actors such as implementation costs.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nVartika Sing h is Senior Research Analyst in the Environment\, Production and Technolog y Division of IFPRI in New Delhi and Senior Research Officer at the Indian Institute of Management\, Ahmedabad\, India.

I use spatiotemporal data from the largest gender disaggregated human deve lopment survey in India\, 2005–2012\, and carry out econometric analyses using individual fixed effects\, village fixed effects and instrumental v ariable regressions to evaluate the effects. Results show that household a ccess to piped water increases the likelihood of wage/salary employment by 11 percent\, and annual earnings increase by 14 percent for women\, compa ratively higher than men\, but only in rural areas. In urban areas\, there is no effect of pipe water on women’s employment. With piped water\, wo men’s self-reported health\, child’s health and education outcomes imp rove. The study recommends evaluating the social demand curve for piped wa ter supply\, and the consideration of piped water supply as necessity\, as part of a broader strategy to reduce gender differences.\n\nSpeaker Biogr aphy:\n\nAshish Kumar Sedai is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics\, College of Business\, University of Texas at Arl ington.

Kolkata\, a major Indian city witnesses significant residential and commercial informality. Outdoor spaces are used widely for various purpos es such as temporary shops\, food stalls\, meeting area etc in these infor mal neighbourhoods and streets are encroached to generate spaces for econo mic activities. In my doctoral research\, I investigated the outdoor therm al condition in such informal mixed-use spaces in hot-humid city of Kolkat a. We conducted thermal comfort field campaigns in three informal neighbou rhoods in summer and winter- one pottery neighbourhood\, one flower market and one retail market. We employed regression models to evaluate relative importance of various climatic and non-climatic variables in shaping the human thermal perception. We further employed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools to assess the impact of temporary encroachments on the street level thermal performance. Our results show various physiological (acclim atization and metabolism)\, psychological (expectation of weather)\, and b ehavioural (beverage intake) factors impact the bodily heat exchange and t hermo-regulatory process of the workers. Our study reports the respondent neutral thermal ranges (they feel neither discomfort\, nor comfort) are hi gher compared to studies conducted in other parts of the world. We further report\, presence and form of the encroachments impact the thermal perfor mance of the streets. Inferences obtained from our study is useful in prop osing various infrastructure strategies to mitigate heat in the informal u rban contexts.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\nDr. Shreya Banerjee is a Post-Doct oral Fellow in Singapore Management University in the project Cooling Sing apore 2.0.

While a strand of a cademic literature finds that clean energy transition can create new jobs\ , Anjali\, in her talk\, will discuss the unequal distribution of job gain s and losses from power sector decarbonization in the context of India\, u sing an analytical framework to examine the changes in the magnitude as we ll as the location of jobs due to clean energy transitions.\n\nShe will al so explore the case of decarbonizing the transport sector through electric vehicles (EVs) – the regional disparities in environmental and health g ains of EVs\, focusing per se on the emissions from the vehicle manufactur ing sector\, in contrast to the usually available results from vehicle ope rations. Estimates from Anjali’s research reveal that overall air pollut ion and related deaths can increase in scenarios with a higher share of EV s because of the increase in manufacturing-related emissions. These increa ses will likely be concentrated in limited locations\, such as the auto ma nufacturing hubs.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\nAnjali Sharma is an assistant p rofessor at Azim Premji University\, Bangalore. Her work aims to infor m just and equitable policies for a low-carbon world.

Yet\, the campaign has attracted intense criticism for water conservation's “unsc ientific” nature\, adverse ecological impacts\, and skewed preference fo r employing mechanical contractors over village residents in waterworks de velopment. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India\, in 2020\, fo und that despite 6.30 lakh completed water harvesting and conservation pro jects\, the campaign had “little impact in achieving water neutrality an d increasing groundwater level” in drought-affected villages. This talk will demonstrate two forms of maladaptation hindering equitable water secu rity: (i) a socio-ecological maladaptation with key state-sponsored and su bsidized infrastructures under the campaign actively deepening the inequit ies\, unsustainability\, and inefficiencies of water use in drought-hit vi llages\, (ii) a relational maladaptation with agricultural drought reconfi guring the state-society relationships\, wherein state officials occlude t heir responsibility in climate welfare by framing environmental features\, such as the climate\, geology\, and topography\, as reasons for the droug ht. By considering these diverse forms of maladaptation\, this talk will e xplore the various pathways for fostering sustainable\, equity-based water security in the context of climate change and variability. \n\n\nSpeaker Biography:\nDr. Sameer Shah is an environmental\, social scientist with e xpertise in the human dimensions of climate change vulnerability.

Enactin g a ‘water world’ grounded on linear and predictable flows\, she will describe how colonial policies for drought-protection rearranged existing human-water relations and divided the Deccan along an irrigated-as-protect ed and rainfed-as-unprotected logic. Yet\, the expansion of this colonial hydro-politics was not a seamless process. Encountering a world that follo wed geographies of water ‘as precipitation’ created unexpected moments of friction\, blurring the partition envisioned by engineering plans. The colonization of the rains thus speaks for that contested and negotiated p roject\, whereby certain water worlds were made present\, and real while o thers discarded\, and made less real.\n\nGiven the preoccupation of the wi dening gap between irrigated and rainfed areas in the context of the agrar ian crisis and climate uncertainties\, the talk wants to stimulate a refle ction on how existing water management practices may unwittingly reproduce practices of rainfall colonization\, unable to value the diversity and dy namism of rainfed socio-ecologies. Arguing for the need for policies to co nfront their power to strengthen certain water worlds at the expense of ot hers\, the talk will reflect with the audience on what it would mean to en act decolonial water management practices grounded on the rainfall.\n\nSpe aker Biography\nArianna Tozzi is a PhD researcher in Human Geography at th e University of Manchester. In her research she uses feminist and decoloni al approaches to unpack the intersecting impact of climate change\, develo pment policies and the processes of rural agrarian transformation in rainf ed areas of Maharashtra.

Predicting crop yields as a function of climate is becoming increasingly important due to a rapidly changing environment. In this talk \, Balsher will discuss and contrast the regional and crop-wise yield sens itivity to climate change in India\, including the predicted yields for di fferent crops till 2100. He will then explore the role that irrigation – under different availability scenarios - can play in reducing yield vulne rability in the context of increasing variability in precipitation and the rising probability of droughts.\n\nHigh-quality data and advanced computa tional facilities have led to various sophisticated models for climate pro jections in recent years. The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) framework is one of those. Balsher has applied this framework fo r his yield projection exercise\, where variables such as temperature\, fr equency and volume of precipitation\, soil moisture\, etc.\, are combined with the climate projections for four different shared socioeconomic pathw ays from 13 Global Climate Models (GCM) under the CMIP6 framework. This ta lk will bring some interesting insights into the climate-driven vulnerabil ities of Indian agriculture and engage the audience to deliberate on some of the likely adaptation and mitigation strategies in this regard.\n\nSpea ker Biography\n\n\nDr. Balsher Singh Sidhu is a postdoctoral research fell ow at the Institute for Resources\, Environment\, and Sustainability\, UCB Vancouver. His research interests lie at the intersection of climate chan ge\, food systems\, and sustainable resource use. He uses advanced statist ical and machine learning methods to understand the relationship between c limate change and agriculture. His doctoral research was funded by a Vanie r Canada Graduate Scholarship\, wherein he developed crop yield models for various crops in India to predict yields till 2100 under multiple emissio n scenarios.

This is causing ever-increasing rates of climate-related events such as floods\, droughts \, and wildfires. Any steps to keep global warming well below 2°C\, a tar get enshrined in the Paris Agreement\, would require a rapid reduction in the use of fossil fuels—particularly coal. Although some member countrie s of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have already planned to phase out coal-based power\, attaining the Paris Agree ment goals would require concerted efforts of the large coal-dependent eme rging economies\, like India\, to reduce their long-term dependency on coa l. But such an energy transition presents an enormous challenge for India both in terms of deployment of large-scale clean energy sources and managi ng the socio-economic impacts of the transition on coal-dependent states a nd communities. In India\, transitioning from coal power is likely to have an outsized effect on six coal-dependent states where coal production is heavily concentrated. Thus\, a comprehensive policy and national action pl an are required focusing on the technological deployment and securing the future livelihoods of millions of coal workers and their community members .\n\nSpeaker Biography:\nDr. Sandeep Pai is the senior research lead at th e Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)\, Washington D.C.
