Dear AWP Friend
We’re fresh out of Cairo Water Week and COP27 and straight on to our next series of events! We’ll have highlights from recent knowledge exchange in our final newsletter for the year, but for now, keep scrolling to find out what’s on next week.
Australasian AID Conference
Canberra | 28 - 30 November 2022
The 2022 Australasian Aid Conference hosted by the Development Policy Centre - Australian National University, in partnership with The Asia Foundation, will bring together practitioners and researchers working on aid and international development policy from across Australia, the Asia- Pacific and beyond to share insights, promote collaboration, and enrich the research community.
On Monday 28 November at 2:00pm AEDT, AWP will convene a session to launch a publication titled, ‘Climate Change and Water Security in the Indo-Pacific: Risks, Responses and a framework for Action,’ co-authored by Dr Hemant Ojha (Institute for Study and Development Worldwide) and Professor Nicholas Schofield (Global Future Research).
The session will be followed by a panel discussion on ‘Climate Risk and Water Security in the Indo-Pacific: How should development partners support local responses?’ and will bring perspectives from the five socioecological zones outlined in the report – mountain towns, dry zones, delta zones, Pacific Islands, and large coastal cities.
Please note this is a non-ticketed event and the public is welcome to attend without registration.

International RiverSymposium
Vienna and online | 27 - 30 November 2022
Hosted by the International RiverFoundation, the International RiverSymposium provides a platform for river managers, policy developers, scientists, consultants, NGOs and community organisations to share knowledge and innovative ideas on all aspects of river and water management.
AWP is a workshop sponsor at the event, where we’ll be launching case studies and synopsis on ‘Valuing Water: The Australian Perspective – Lessons from the Murray-Darling Basin’, developed in partnership with the AWP, DFAT and World Bank on November 30th at 8pm AEDT, 11am CET.
Water in the Murray-Darling Basin is examined through the lenses of the economy, the environment and Australia’s First Nations, helping policy makers to improve water-related outcomes in other country contexts. Australia’s largest river system provides valuable lessons that can inform good international practices.
