Water Diplomacy<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring everyone can access clean, safe, and drinkable water is an essential right. In the light of an increasingly complex world where global climatic patterns are shifting the distribution of water, environmental deterioration, and political instability all threaten people\u2019s ability to access water. Further, geopolitical tensions and conflict across transboundary water bodies can prevent populations access to safe and plentiful water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate Diplomacy<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Global climate change is perhaps the biggest threat humanity has faced, and time is quickly running out to prevent it from irrevocably changing our world. At IEDS, we believe that bold, cooperative action on a global scale is needed to solve this crisis, which is why we engage in climate diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food-Energy-Water Security<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In complex socio-ecological systems, the nexus of Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Security is essential to creating resilient communities and countries, and a resilient world in the face of an increasingly challenging global problems. FEW security is essential for sustainable development, as all being able to access all three resources (food, energy, water) is crucial for human well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transboundary Animal Biosecurity<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Food security and economic security are vulnerable to the consequences of new, emerging, or trans-boundary animal diseases reaching the United States and spreading rapidly through food animal populations, triggering export market closures and raising concerns about food safety. Preparing for such a disaster is a complex challenge. Because of human resistance to preparing for something that is not part of one\u2019s individual experience or the collective experience of one\u2019s social network, developing and maintaining protocols and policies effective at preventing the spread of disease is difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
