Summary: Co-author of Géopolitique des pôles (April 2021), le professeur Frédéric Lasserre (ULaval) has signed the preface of Planète assoiffée : quelle gouvernance mondiale pour l’eau? In this essay published in October 2021, journalist Daniel Allard puts forward no less than 30 arguments for change. Years of observation have led him to consider the status quo untenable, and to conclude that the issue of global water governance has become urgent. The right governance to be found is not obvious, however. The debate is open.

New series of weekly CentrEau webinars "all about water management". These short 20-minute presentations will be offered live every Thursday at 1 p.m. followed by a short discussion period. CentrEau professors and researchers, as well as guest speakers, will present their research work and its importance in a semi-popularized manner. Watch the previous webinars on our YouTube Channel.
