Abstract:

Focused through the lens of our changing climate - and changing hydrology - this event will explore three priority water challenges facing Canadians today: natural gas development and tracking; indigenous governance and collaborative water governance; and water entitlements. It will also include an exploration of social innovation and water governance reform as options for addressing these issues. Presentations will draw on current research from a diversity of UVic departments and centres (Centre for Global Studies, Environmental Studies, Geography, Law). An RSVP is mandatory; please email water@polisproject.org.
