The Water Security and Climate Change Conference (WSCC2022) will be held in a hybrid manner in Bangkok, Thailand from 01–03 December 2022. A selected number of participants will be invited to Bangkok to present their work in person, while some sessions will be organized online for a wider audience. The conference is being organized by the Centers for Natural Resources and Development (CNRD)and TH Köln, EXCEED SWINDON at TU Braunschweig, Food Security Center (FSC) at the University of Hohenheim, the SDGnexus Network at the University of Gießen, ABCD Centre at TU Dresden, and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand.
The Water Security and Climate Change (WSCC) series of conferences have been held on an annual basis since 2016. The first edition of the conference was organized in Bangkok (2016), and subsequently in Cologne (2017), Nairobi (2018), San Luis Potosí (2019), and Hanoi (2021). The overarching objective of these conferences is to proliferate the exchange of knowledge and practical know-how on the intrinsic relationship between water security and climate change, with a view to advance fundamental and action research in this domain that will help humankind address one of the greatest challenges of our times.
The WSCC conferences have become a notable academic platform for scientific, technical discourses and policy-oriented discourses and discussions, evidenced by the increased number of participants each year. Furthermore, the conference has also contributed to the strengthening of the EXCEED by connecting member networks as well as raising awareness on the topic of water security and climate change. The conference additionally broadens its organization committee in 2022 by including the DAAD-funded organizations SDGnexus Network and ABCD-Center.
