Special Conference on Water Scarcity

Glasgow - Radison Blu Hotel

This two-day conference aims to highlight the concerns and discuss what can be done to address water scarcity in a global, European and UK context - already a great concern in the south west of England and something that will become more severe without action. With a programme that will include presentations from recognised sector experts from governments, industry and academia around the world, this conference will attract an audience of global and European opinion-formers and decision-makers.  The conference will also consider what opportunities and enterprise might become available to manage this growing crisis.

This is your chance to help form the opinions of the opinion-formers, and influence the decisions of the decision-makers.

Speakers include:

• Professor Patricia Wouters (UNESCO, University of Dundee)
• Tony Allen (Winner of the Stockholm Water Prize)
• Ned Breslin (CEO, Water for People)
• Alan Sutherland (CEO, Water Industry Commission for Scotland). 

It will be opened by the Cabinet Secretary for Scotland, Alex Neil MSP.  You will find out how water scarcity is being handled in different parts of the world, and what projects are being developed which could suit your own organisation.
