| International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and its partners are organizing a three-day Global Forum as a part of its Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) funded project titled Solar Irrigation for Agricultural Resilience in South Asia (SoLAR). This forum will bring together around 150 key stakeholders from across the world to discuss the growing body of work and evidence in South Asia on solar applications in agriculture, particularly bringing together key experiences, insights and promotion of south-south collaboration and scaling up of global ambitions around effective and sustainable use of solar energy in agriculture.
Using learnings from South Asia, this forum will present unique insights on the effectiveness of solar irrigation as a strategy to sustainably manage water, energy, food and climate (mitigation and adaptation) interlinkages. It will highlight how governments are using evidence from the field to develop and deploy ambitious policies and programs on solar irrigation to address nationally determined contributions (NDC) commitments while supporting climate-resilient, gender-equitable, and socially inclusive agrarian livelihoods. |
