This session is inspired by the idea that addressing climate and water challenges requires more than scientific insight; it requires alignment across governance, technology, and society. We are looking to bring together experts like yourself to reflect on how institutions, policies, and data systems can better connect planetary observations with decisions that empower people. We hope that panelists can highlight emerging frameworks that integrate climate information, water governance, and societal needs.
