#WWWeek is in full speed and so is the series "The Art of Water Diplomacy"! Yesterday’s session emphasised well how the legal basis, institutional arrangements and different types of actors are needed to make water diplomacy possible 🕊️💧

Director of Centre for Peace Katja Ahlfors: "Water diplomacy processes aim at building trust between the parties in order to move away from political positions towards dialogue; this may be possible through emphasizing the shared benefits of the transboundary waters." World Water Week

Noora's #WWWeek takeaways: "cross-sectoral perspective to water & we should take along all groups of people". For Oona, the most interesting topics were "linkages of water, peace & conflicts & focus on individuals, which are at the heart of human security, my field of study" 2/2
