Climate Hope from the Dismal Science: How Macroeconomic Policy and Water Resilience Can Guide Us towards Prosperity

This webinar introduces the WR4ER initiative and provides an overview of its objectives and significance. We are excited to propose a new set of interventions and launch a new discussion about solutions that meet the scope of the resilience changes we now face. Our goal is to create a dialogue between policymakers and technical decision makers, focusing on leveraging economic and financial institutions to bolster economic resilience, grounded in tangible cases and operational recommendations.

Given that water is a climate-dynamic and uncertain flow brings in pressing questions, how do we negotiate tradeoffs in the present and for the future? Can water resilience serve as an economic framework to orchestrate our management of economies? This webinar is structured to delve into some of the challenges and opportunities that can cultivate an economics of resilience.
