PODCAST | Science Helps Us… Bring Nations Together

Publication Date

Thursday, August 17, 2023

In the third episode in our “Science Helps Us…” series, we explore how hydrologic science can help bring people to the negotiation table.

Water is a resource that defies political boundaries – managing it effectively can serve as a catalyst to international diplomacy. Our three guests highlight the important role that science plays in the shifting landscape of water diplomacy. We discuss science translation, the value of ensuring diverse voices have a seat at the table, and why all data are – to some extent – inherently political.
