20 January Friday
High-level panel: Agricultural leadership in a water-scarce world - 14:00-16:00
FAO's high-level session will focus on the issue of agricultural leadership in a water-scarce world. In 2016, the World Economic Forum
ranked water crises as the risk of highest concern for the coming 10 years – with significant implications for people and the global economy. Representatives of governments (Rwanda, China) and international organizations (World Meteorological Organization,
Water Resources Group) will share their experience and views on how to deal with water scarcity in sustainable food and agriculture systems.
FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva will deliver the opening speech.
