We reflect on a successful 25th conference of the Islamic World Academy of Sciences (IAS), where Jeff Camkin from TARH - Terra, Ambiente e Recursos Hรญdricos, Lda. and The University of Western Australia presented the #UPWATER project! ๐ The #conference, which focused on the critical nexus of water, energy, food, and ecosystems for the security of OIC countries, provided an excellent platform to showcase our work. In his presentation "Aims, design, outputs and hopes of the EU project UPWATER for protecting groundwater and enhancing water quality," Jeff placed UPWATERโs efforts in the context of current and emerging water policy in #Europe. He highlighted the ZeroPollution4Water Cluster as a key mechanism for maximizing research investment value and its impact on water policy and practice. ๐ โWe all have an important role to play in dealing with the worldโs water challenges," Jeff said, "but the goal is not to undertake new research, generate more data, create new information, gain more knowledge, establish new policies, or even ensure better practices. These are useful, but they are only steps. Ultimately, the goal is to develop our collective wisdom.โ๐ก The inaugural session of the conference saw an impressive turnout of around 100 attendees, with subsequent sessions ranging between 50-70 participants from around 10 countries. ๐ Together, let's continue striving towards a wiser and more #sustainable approach to water management!๐ง #WaterQuality #UPWATER #ZeroPollution4Water #Sustainability #WaterPolicy #Policy #EnvironmentalProtection #IASConference #Pakistan #InternationalCollaboration #Ecosystems
