| 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM | Special Event: Water: The Global Challenge of Our Future
Can a world with exponential population growth and an insatiable demand for water be sustainable? The water crisis consumes more lives yearly than all the wars and AIDS-related deaths combined, yet it isn’t well-publicized. With water scarcity starting to affect the developed world as well as its continued disproportionate impact on developing countries, how do we, as a global community, address this challenge for our collective future?
The Melody for Dialogue Among Civilizations Association, in conjunction with the Center for Global Affairs, will spend a day examining the implications of this under-reported crisis as part of its global series of conferences. Join keynote speakers Forest Whitaker and Alexandra Cousteau for a series of panels and debates featuring academics, members of the private sector, government, the UN system and civil society to not only discuss the crisis, but also explore what can be done about it.
The Center for Global Affairs at NYU-SCPS is proud to be a member of the UN Academic Impact, a global initiative that aligns institutions of higher education with the United Nations in actively supporting 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, literacy, sustainability and conflict resolution.
Pre-registration is required.
