This symposium, under the theme of “Water Security and Climate Change: Pathways to a Resilient Future” provides a valuable platform to exchange ideas and explore pathways toward a resilient future from diverse perspectives. On Day 1, the program will begin with poster presentations where participants introduce their research and cultures and deepen mutual understanding. There will be invited lectures by experts in a wide range of fields including water and sanitation in developing countries, environmental education, environmental justice, and emerging market finance.
