Summary: Can Bioenergy become a key strategy for climate change mitigation without threatening global food security? Can current Institutions, policies and assessment tools ensure sustainable and equitable development of bioenergy? This seminar targets anyone interested in aspects of water management for food and bioenergy, including planners, decision makers and researchers, eg. people making assessments of bioenergy production, and those relying on the output of these assessments to support policy setting and decision making. Join the seminar to discuss these and many other questions related to the links between water and bioenergy.
