Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network Meeting: Water, Water Everywhere But Not a Drop to Drink

The Center for Water Policy is hosting our next Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network Meeting, moderated by Water Policy Specialist Anna Watson. This event will feature a presentation from Professor Sumudu Atapattu, Teaching Professor and Director of the Global Legal Studies Center at UW Law School on her research titled “Water, Water Everywhere But Not a Drop to Drink: Access to Water as a Human Right.”

In this talk to the Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network, Prof. Atapattu will examine the global water crisis and the emergence of a legally recognized human right to water under international human rights law. She will also unpack the scope of that right and consider its implication for the U.S. in the face of climate impacts.

This Zoom presentation is for Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network members only. For more information about joining, please visit the Network’s website.
