Dr. Serena Caucci (UNU-FLORES): ?The second life of water: Harnessing trade-offs and synergies“
A sustainable development that integrates the environmental, social, and economic dimensions has been the pillar for the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for promoting sustainable policy actions. This lecture will look into the relevance of water reuse in the circular economy for both the Global North and Global South and will highlight synergies and trade-offs within sustainable water management.
Sustainability assessments are tools that can support proper management and translation of knowledge into policy actions. Sustainability assessment of water reuse, especially in agriculture, could be a valuable tool to support the achievement of SDG 6 and 12 considering that agriculture accounts for 70 per cent of the worldwide water abstraction. Unfortunately, sustainability assessment often differs in theory and practice.
