Last edition of the web-conference "Protection of aquatic environments, from ecological damage to ecological damage": Friday 6 July at 10h00

20/06/2018

Following the success of the first two editions, the International Office for Water (IOWater) is organizing, with the support of the French Biodiversity Agency (AFB), a third and final edition of this web-conference on Friday 6 July at 10h00.

Despite a developed legal arsenal, taking into account the ecological damage caused to aquatic and other natural environments often suffers from difficult interaction between the various actors (environmental inspectors, managers of natural areas, civil society, magistrates, etc.), with the consequence that the law is less effective.

The AFB has addressed this problem by launching research and development work at the interface between the human and social sciences and the life and earth sciences. This led to the publication in 2017 of a volume in the series "Comprendre pour agir": From ecological damage to ecological damage, how does society take into account and repair the damage caused to water and aquatic environments?"

Based on this work, this web-conference will allow you to understand the chain of environmental litigation, to identify the actors involved, to measure the progress already made in favour of a greater effectiveness of the law but also the road that remains to be travelled for a better protection of aquatic environments and other natural environments.

  • With the intervention of Delphine Loupsans, task officer - Direction de la recherche, de l'expertise et du développement des compétences - Agence française pour la biodiversité
  • And moderated by Maxime Fouillet, Scientific Mediator - Service valorisation des données - Office International de l'Eau
