International Water Security Conference: Addressing Emergent Water Quality Threats
Join the FIU Institute of Environment and UNESCO to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP) and the 60th anniversary of Water Sciences at UNESCO.
Water quality is vital for water security but is threatened by pollutants from industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and urban waste. Global challenges to be discussed affecting water quality include population growth, urban expansion, and decaying infrastructure. We look forward to seeing you at Florida International University, to jointly explore sustainable solutions for these critical issues.
The conference will take place in Miami on October 15-17, 2025
