Description
Major environmental challenges require not only successful negotiation of solutions, but especially an effective implementation across the local, sub-national and national levels of governance. However, this is often highly contested by various groups affected, especially if local communities in the global south are negatively impacted. This panel explores deeper insights into contestation of water governance especially with regards to borders and security aspects and the role art can play to achieve objectives. It also discusses how actors use framing and other techniques to advance implementation that meets their interests such as the use of environmental goals as a neutral vehicle for negotiations in the United Kingdom's contested territories and China's conception of a green world order.
