UNESCO: Webinar on Land Subsidence

Aquifer-system compaction and land subsidence due to groundwater pumping is increasingly affecting larger regions and with greater consequences worldwide. The UNESCO Land Subsidence Flagship Initiative aims to address these issues by advancing knowledge and enhancing collaborative research to support governments at the national and regional levels.

In the webinar, leading scientists will highlight the frontiers of the science of land subsidence, a snapshot of the situation in the world, the consequences caused by land subsidence, and good practices around the world. The presentations will be followed by a 25-minute Q&A session.
