The ocean is the lifeblood of our planet, covering over 70% of Earth's surface and playing a crucial role in climate regulation, biodiversity, and human sustenance. Yet, despite its vastness, it is increasingly vulnerable to human activities—with a large part of large fish populations depleted and a substantial part of coral reefs destroyed.

On this World Oceans Day, we must shift our focus from exploitation to restoration, ensuring that marine ecosystems thrive for generations to come.

New Chapter Published: Exploring Trust in Water Management and Disaster Risk Policies

I am delighted to share our latest publication related to trust and geopolitics in an uncertain world, now available online! This new chapter delves into the critical role of trust in fostering effective water management and disaster risk reduction policies.

Local and national efforts to implement water management strategies often depend on cooperation, robust social networks, and generalized trust. Multi-level governance, supported by institutionalized frameworks, enables multi-stakeholder collaboration, ensuring the success of such initiatives. Trust emerges as a cornerstone for action and policy implementation. However, the rise of antagonisms, conflicts, or divided interests poses significant challenges. Crises and conflicts can derail cooperation and hinder progress.

This chapter examines how trust can be leveraged as a pivotal factor in moving beyond conflicts and mitigating potential crises. It specifically applies this lens to water management and disaster risk management in local contexts. By addressing trust as an often-overlooked parameter, the chapter offers new insights into building resilience and fostering dialogue in challenging environments.

We invite you to explore this thought-provoking analysis on the intersections of trust, conflicts, crisis management, and sustainable water governance. Join the conversation on Trust, conflicts and cooperation. 

Keywords: trust, conflicts, crisis management, water resources, dialogue, risk management.
