IAEA Scientific Forum 2025 - Atoms for Water


Projekt:EVT2306598
Organizátor:IAEA
Místo konání:Vídeň/virtuálně
Stát:Rakousko
Datum konání:16.09.2025 - 17.09.2025
Popis:Water is fundamental to human life, economic development, food security and environmental sustainability. Climate change, land use change, population growth, declining water quality, food and energy demands, and economic development affect the amount and distribution of water. Globally, approximately 3.8 trillion cubic metres of water are needed annually for drinking water, agriculture and food production, energy generation and economic development. Demand for freshwater is increasing by 64 billion cubic metres per year, and new mechanisms for generating potable water are needed. In this regard, nuclear energy is offering countries — in particular those in arid regions — a clean energy alternative to produce potable water through desalination. But water supply is globally uneven. Urgent and targeted action is needed to ensure that the world’s population has equitable and sustainable access to water in the coming decades. A sharp increase in extreme hydrological events such as severe flooding and drought over the last 50 years has impacted supply and accounts for an estimated $4.3 trillion in economic losses worldwide. The 2025 Scientific Forum aims to: (1) showcase innovative ways of using nuclear sciences, not only to better understand the origin, amount, distribution and quality of our shared water resources, but also to support and implement practical solutions; (2) foster partnerships and reflect on the importance of water as a global common good to be managed sustainably and equitably for all; and (3) mobilize resources to support the adoption of nuclear methods and approaches that ensure global water sustainability. The forum will seek to: • Address the idea of water as a global common good. • Reflect on key acceleration mechanisms to improve water sustainability. • Explore innovative nuclear science-based approaches to understand and address the growing global crisis of declining water quality. • Emphasize the critical role of nuclear sciences in understanding connections along the entire water cycle continuum and the impact of hydrological alteration. • Underline the importance of strengthening technical capacities in Member States to generate data for identifying solutions to water problems. • Foster strategic partnerships and mobilize resources to support the application of nuclear techniques for sustainable and equitable water management, reinforcing the recognition of water as a global common good.
Účastníci:Participation in the event is open to persons from all Member States that are already registered as members of a delegation attending the General Conference GC69. Delegation members are not required to register individually to attend and can access the event with their GC69 badge. Persons wishing to follow the event virtually can do so via the live stream link, which will be made available on the Scientific Forum website.
