OECD technical workshop on Water Risks and Agriculture
Paris, November 2025
Marta Tuninetti and Elena De Petrillo participated in the technical workshop organised by the OECD as invited experts to discuss state-of-the-art, ready-to-use tools and approaches for anticipating and monitoring water risks for agricultural production. The workshop brought together OECD delegates and a broad range to set the path for embedding evidence into policy and decision-making processes. The outcomes will inform an OECD Policy Paper to be published in summer 2026.
