Can water be both a weapon and a bridge to peace? What diplomatic and legal measures can prevent its misuse and promote cooperation?

We discuss these questions on legal frameworks and political realities surrounding water and peace in the context of climate change with Dr. Beatrice Mosello. She shares examples from Ukraine and the South Caucasus region, highlighting the need for legal and political measures to reinforce water's role in diplomacy.
