WASAG: Actions for Water and Nutrition Security

A World Water Week 2020 Session

August 27, 2020

  • 6:00 – 6:45 pm (Europe/Stockholm)
  • 12:00 – 12:45 pm (US/Eastern)
  • 9:30 – 10:15 pm (Asia/Kolkata)
Information

Claudia Ringler, IFPRI’s Deputy Division Director of Environment Production and Technology Division, is participating in a session at World Water Week 2020.

This Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) session introduces the WASAG Working Group on Water & Nutrition; describes guidelines to strengthen nutrition outcomes in irrigation and water resource development projects and provides new insights on water quality-health nutrition linkages.

The Sustainable Development Goals related to water and nutrition security are not on track. Currently every third person in the world is threatened by water scarcity with the trend moving to every second person being at risk by 2050; similarly every third person is affected by one or another form of malnutrition today and by 2050, every second person will be afflicted.

This session is a contribution from the WASAG Working Group on Water and Nutrition, introduces the working group, as well as tools to support action, and provides new insights on yet unexplored water-health-nutrition linkages.
