Promoting Social Change (C8)

Changing the behaviour of water users and water managers towards more sustainable practices is a necessary step in achieving water security. However, this requires changes of deeply held attitudes in individuals, institutions, professionals, and social organisations to encourage a more water-oriented society.

Therefore, it is important to be clear on the goal (what to change) and on the method (how to change).
