Rivers, and other water bodies, are the blood vessels of our world. They provide fresh water to support, directly or indirectly, the lives and daily livelihoods of billions of people globally. However, when they run dry, overflow, or become unpredictable, they turn into major threats to society. Climate change is projected to amplify and accelerate these challenges.

The webinar will bring together musicians, visual artists and scientists to discuss the impacts of climate change on water resources in East-Africa, and on the millions of people who depend on them for their livelihoods.

This event is the second of a series organised by UNESCO-IHP, the University of Oxford, and the orchestra of St John’s, engaging audiences by connecting them to water security and climate change issues through science, music and visual arts.
