Hello,
We are proposing a session for
#RGSIBG23
29th August-1st September
London & Online
Convenors:
Dr Catherine Fallon Grasham ([log in to unmask]) and
Dr Marina Korzenevica ([log in to unmask])
Water access has always been dependent on the climate through complex, non-linear and time-dependent biophysical processes. People across the world have been
developing multiple formal and informal adaptation mechanisms, aiming to ensure safe and affordable water for lives and livelihoods. However, in some cases efforts to adapt are constrained by historical legacies of discrimination, uneven multi-scalar power
relations and top-down, neo-liberal approaches to water allocation. Risks to, and the challenges of, water access have gained new dimensions due to the changing climate, having knock-on impacts on daily lives. Or, can it be a protracted crisis of water governance?
In this session we conceptualize and operationalise water access-climate relations, discussion that has been lacking progress in academic and policy circles.
The repercussions of water access-climate disruptions - which can be incremental changes over time (e.g.extension of the dry season), a cumulation of smaller shocks (e.g. increased number of dry days during the wet season), or a large-scale crisis or rupture
(e.g. flood or drought)- are co-produced by biophysical processes, anthropogenic climate change and social responses. Water access-climate protractions have structural legacies with socio-political origins such as infrastructural marginalization shaped by
intersectional identities including class, caste, race, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, disability and gender. Disruptions and protractions both involve risks and opportunities shaded by ideologies, power structures and values at different scales.
Do water-related gendered social norms and inequalities at the household level persevere through disruptions? Does poor water access reflect the changed climate or long-term management issues with water supply systems?

Subject: Call for Sponsored Sessions for RGS-IBG -FINAL DAY!
Dear climate geographers,
THIS IS THE FINAL DAY TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS FOR CCRG SPONSORSHIP AT RGS-IBG 2023
The Royal Geographical Society (RGS) conference will take place in London from
Tuesday 29th of August to Friday 1st of September at the Royal Geographical Society in London. This year, it will be chaired by Professor Harriet Bulkeley (Durham University, UK), with the Chair's theme being
Climate Changed Geographies.
The theme of
Climate Changed Geographies means that this year’s RGS conference will be a big year for all of us who work on climate related issues. The RGS Climate Change Research Group (CCRG) is thus keen to sponsor sessions, presentations and activities at the
conference.
If you are planning to convene a session at RGS 2023, please do submit an application for sponsorship. We are keen to have as many sponsored sessions
as we can, in order to ensure they receive due prominence in what is likely to be a busy and exciting conference.
The deadline for session proposals is
Tuesday 28th of February. If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please add the following information to our sponsorship Google form
here. The form includes a template to include the following information. If all rows are filled, please feel free
to add additional rows. There is no limit to the number of applications for sponsorship, but the total number of sponsored sessions is expected to be twelve.
Key dates and deadlines
Best,
Laurie.
Dr. Laurie Parsons
Senior Lecturer in Human Geography
Department of Geography
Royal Holloway, University of London
Secretary, RGS Climate Change Research Group
