Women Plus Water Expert List
We are excited to launch our Women Plus Water Expert List! This public-facing expert list is designed to connect people and facilitate opportunities where individuals can share their research and expertise on gender and all areas of water in spaces that are meaningful to them! We hope this list provides a resource for communities, leaders, policymakers, media, and others looking to engage a diverse and inclusive community of water experts to change conversations and practice.
Registration to join the Women Plus Water Expert List remains open - we encourage individuals at all stages of their career to join!
