The Water Diplomat seeks to mainstream water news in the understanding that public awareness of water diplomacy is crucial to the achievement of global objectives on water and sustainable development. Media, particularly news media, are key to calling global attention to water issues, stimulating public debate, and contributing to constructive dialogues. Media can act as a knowledge broker, building bridges, facilitating new flows of information, shifting narratives towards collaboration and increasing awareness of co-dependency on shared resources rather than viewing water conflicts as a zero-sum game. These are the public interest goals which The Water Diplomat strives to achieve, and in using this website, the user agrees to contribute exclusively to these public goals.
