5th Scientific workshop of the AgroParisTech-Suez Chair : call for paper

Scientific workshops organized by the ‘Water for All’ Chair bring together urban water utilities managers, experts and scholars to think about what would be the right path for furtherresearch and actions to stay on track to reach the SDGs. The 4th scientific workshop was held in 2021 and explored how to overcome institutional and organizational barriers to sanitation (Colon, Rieu, 2022).

The need to devote the 5th edition to the broader challenge of provision of water and sanitation services in the light of accelerating climate change seems quite obvious. For the first time, the seminar will be held in Africa, to foster participation of water stakeholders based in this continent and case studies from African studies.

The Scientific Committee invites participants to submit short papers on innovative work exploring the theme of the workshop and to open discussions. We welcome data driven research and pluridisciplinary approaches. The following (but not exclusive) questions may be addressed:

• What do we know about the impact of climate change at the local scale?
• How to adapt existing urban water systems?
• How to adapt water utilities management and water sector governance?
