News Call for papers: Water tensions in Europe and in the Mediterranean: water crises by 2050?

The conference addresses issues related to future tensions on water management and possible associated ruptures, linked to climate change and future water uses by 2050. These issues are tackled by studies in the fields of hydrology, climate, social sciences, at various scales in Europe and the Mediterranean.

The following topics are addressed:

1. Past and present “crises” and water tensions

2. Future water regimes by 2050

3. Methods for prospective studies

Gathering these topics in a single event aims to initiate a multidisciplinary exchange between hydrological, climatic analyses, social and economic approaches and studies on the dynamics of water crises. Social sciences analyses of past and present water crises are expected to improve the management of future water crises…

This event is held within the framework of the preliminary events of the 21th United Nations Climate Change Conference to be hosted by France in December 2015 (COP 21-Paris Climate 2015).

Conference languages are English and French. All slides will be in English.
