Background
The country’s complex and fundamental relationship with water streams provides ActionAid Bangladesh with a uniquely comprehensive understanding of the matter, which leads to recognise the importance of focusing this year’s conference’s discourse oncreating spaces for resilience against the negative effects of climate change.Challenges and solutionsrelated to this topic are not, in fact, limited to the national or regional contexts, but extend to all over the world. It is, therefore, by scaling up the reach of these conversations that ActionAid Bangladesh wishes toengage regionally and internationally,exploring a diverse range of topics and involving diverse voices. ActionAid Bangladesh aims to lead this conversation by providing a platform through the International Water Conference for youth, researchers, academicians, water practitioners, and river experts to identify and spread breakthrough ideas critical to addressing water-related concerns.
Therefore, ActionAid Bangladesh is opening itscall for papersfor the 9thInternational Water Conference. Participants can contribute with research papers and innovative ideas, that fit within one of the broader themes.
