Extreme climatic events have been associated with changes in freshwater availability and degradation of water quality, including elevated concentrations of nutrients, contaminants of emerging concern, and potential for algal blooms, some of which may be toxic. As humans and wildlife rely on freshwater for life, alterations in the freshwater supply in response to extreme climatic events can have catastrophic impacts, particularly during humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing together four renowned experts who work at the heart of humanitarian solutions through technology, engineering, global governance, and advocacy, this virtual panel aims to explore the humanitarian responses, challenges, and solutions to alleviating the freshwater crisis, particularly in the face of global environmental degradation and extreme climatic events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yorku.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_eQBQe37mRmyVjYZdEk4-xw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register for the panel.<\/a><br><br><em>This event is cosponsored by the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research; One WATER Research Centre; Office of the Vice-President Research &amp; Innovation, 快播视频; United Nations Development Programme; and United Nations Institute for Training and Research.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please email&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:dievents@yorku.ca\"><\/a><a href=\"mailto:sharma11@yorku.ca\">sharma11@yorku.ca<\/a>&nbsp;with any questions about this event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-4 kt-pane355_e28b18-63\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\"> <strong>Water Security, Climate Change &amp; Resilience: Sharing Experiences from the UN Water Conference with Our Community &amp; Partners<\/strong> | June 15, 2023<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Event Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Date: June 15th<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time: 10:00 am<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location: York Lanes 280N<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During this event, we will be sharing our experiences from the recent UN Water Conference, held in March 2023 in&nbsp;New York.
