Navigating Uncertainty - S2E09 - Gender And Water Governance In Mainland Southeast Asia

UNSW Canberra Podcasts

Rivers nurture some of the world’s most environmentally, socially and economically vital ecosystems. The mighty Mekong River is a prominent example, often referred to as Southeast Asia’s ‘lifeblood’. In this podcast, Dr Pichamon Yeophantong and Professor Anthony Burke discuss the impacts that social and environmental change has on women and communities reliant on the Mekong, the ways that local women contribute to river governance and leadership, and their deep understanding of the relationship between humans and nature.
