Currents! Correnti!

Water is the essence of life, yet it is increasingly under
threat. From droughts and floods to contamination and
mismanagement, water-related issues are accelerating
climate change impacts and deepening global inequalities.
Currents-Correnti explores water’s role as both a vital
resource and a point of contention, highlighting how it is
manipulated in socio-political and economic contexts, and
how its scarcity and contamination fuel global crises.
A 2-day summit in Lugano, Switzerland that will bring together global researchers, academics, policymakers, and the public to examine water’s impact on health, security, and environmental justice.
Together, we will address urgent questions about the future of our water systems and explore innovative solutions that ensure equitable access to clean water for all.
