Resources: ‘World We Want’ Discussion forums

It’s been a while since we posted anything in our resources series. This week we direct you to a group of discussion forums on the ‘world we want’ website. They have discussion boards covering a range of development themes, some of which are particularly relevant to GfGD; water, energy and environmental sustainability. They direct you to articles and blogs, as well as facilitating discussion on key issues.

A consultation will be hosted within the water forum over the coming month, with the aim of facilitating voices from a broad range of stakeholders to build consensus around key future challenges in water. Topics include the impact of waste water on the oceans, water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools and water resource management in the face of a changing climate. You can add your own thoughts into the discussion and perhaps highlight the importance of good geoscience…

As part of their water consultation, ‘world we want’ have asked people around the world to say YES for water
