Reverberating Effects for Fertilizer, Food, and Water Security in Times of Conflict

Mounting tensions around key maritime chokepoints and trade routes reveal globally entrenched dependencies on food imports and singular trade corridors. Recent attacks on water infrastructure also threaten water security and broader urban resilience in the Middle East. This panel will convene leading regional and global experts to unpack the immediate and long-term implications of the unfolding conflict on fertilizer, food and water security. The discussion will unpack how governments and markets are strategising to mitigate shocks, learning from prior crises such as conflicts in other regions and the COVID-19 pandemic.
