Featuring IHE Delft staff

Small Island Development States (SIDS) appear on the map as little dots of green in vast stretches of blue. In popular culture, they take turns appearing as idyllic holiday destinations... and as tiny landmasses always on the verge of drowning under rising sea level.
Just how exposed are these island nations to climate change effects? What makes them extra vulnerable? How are they dealing with this threat? We speak to IHE Delft's Erik de Ruiter van Steveninck.
(If you are from a Small Island Developing State--SIDS--here is a fellowship opportunity for you to study water management at IHE Delft: https://www.un-ihe.org/sids-fellowships-1 )

Small islands in big oceans

Is it possible to predict conflict? That's what the Water, Peace and Security Partnership's machine learning early warning tool sets out to do. Four times a year the predictions are analyzed and turned into a quarterly report.

In this second WPS quarterly report podcast we'll look at the countries most at risk of conflict thanks to the fall out of the war in Ukraine, which has led to much higher fuel and food prices, along with serious predicted future food supply problems. The guest for this podcast is Susanne Schmeier, Associate Professor in Water Law and Diplomacy at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, one of the WPS partners, and the producer and presenter is Nicholas Walton of WRI.

Episode 10 - When scientists and journalists become water diplomats

We travel to the sources of the Nile in Jinja, Uganda, to celebrate #EverydayNile photo-exhibition and the end of the project Open Water Diplomacy, reflecting on how our journey has contributed to water diplomacy by connecting people, places, and stories.

Episode 11 - Finally at the sources: live in Jinja!

Climate change is disrupting weather patterns and leading to extreme weather events, such as wild fires, all around the world. Climate-related natural disasters also cause unpredictable water availability, exacerbate existing water scarcities and contaminate established water supplies. In some situations, scarce and valuable fresh water has contributed to conflicts by being a causal factor, target, tool, or weapon. In this episode, we explore what the effects of climate change means for water security around the world and talk to four guests about the weaponization of water, water scarcity, international conflicts over water, and more.

Guests: Scott Moore (Director, Penn Global China Program), Jasdeep Randhawa (International lawyer and policy specialist, currently working in the adaptation team at the United Nations Climate Change agency), Susanne Schmeier (Associate professor, IHE Delft), Michelle Toxopeus (Legal researcher, Helen Suzman Foundation).

What Does Climate Change Mean for Water Security?

Journalists have a crucial role to play in creating inspirational and transformative narratives relating to the world’s complex water conflicts, specialists say in the first episode of a three-part podcast series on water conflict and cooperation. 

In this episode, special guests discuss their research on the role of the media in water diplomacy, which features in a new expert guide for journalists and policymakers launched by the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education.

Water conflicts, science and the media

Hello and welcome to the 'Transformations to Groundwater Sustainability' Podcast. Every month, we will share narratives of knowing, accessing and sharing groundwater from different perspectives and places around the globe. The podcast is hosted by Muna Dajani (Lancaster University) and Cristian Olmos (University of Amsterdam), and today's episode is a conversation about the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on small-scale agriculture in Algeria, India and Morocco. Our guests are Farah Hamamouche (CIRAD, France), Hind Ftouhi (The Agronomic and Veterinary Institute Hassan II, Morocco), Irene Leonardelli (IHE Delft), Lisa Bossenbroek (University Koblenz-Landau) and Sneha Bhat (SOPPECOM). In this episode, we discuss the challenges of doing feminist research during a pandemic, aiming to offer listeners something more than an academic interview. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
