AIDA World Water Law Congress 2026
Water Law and Governance in Times of Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss
Our freshwater and coastal ecosystems are under significant pressure from climate change and biodiversity loss. Climate change is altering the functioning of freshwater and coastal ecosystems and their biodiversity, as well as water availability. At the same time, various sectors, such as renewable energy, agriculture, urbanization, and industrial activities, continue exerting additional pressure on freshwater and coastal ecosystems through pollution and habitat destruction, causing biodiversity degradation and less resilient ecosystems.
Addressing these challenges requires a coherent and integrative approach in water law and governance. The AIDA Congress aims to shed light on existing barriers and opportunities for coherent and integrated freshwater and coastal management, and invites participants to explore technical, social, financial, institutional and regulatory innovations to overcome identified barriers, enabling the transformative transition to a future-proof system of water law and governance.
The Aida Congress conference brings together leading experts, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to discuss innovative solutions and strategies for sustainable water management.
Join us for the first AIDA Congress for an insightful and impactful global conference addressing the critical issues of water law and governance amidst the challenges posed by climate change and biodiversity loss.
