WCFD community meet up 2026
Within the Water, Climate and Future Deltas community, scientific experts from a broad range of disciplines cooperate directly with experts in the field to combine knowledge on natural system functioning with spatial planning, land and water governance and legislative frameworks. This allows for developing resilient delta management strategies all over the world. Join us on Thursday 17 September to get inspired by colleagues that will present their work, help shape us our activities and feel welcome to bring in your expertise!
Programme
- Esther Stouthamer will introduce the plans for our WCFD community
