Where water meets security

DIRT explores how water insecurity connects with wider questions of human security, livelihoods, displacement and regional cooperation, particularly across the Middle East and surrounding regions. Through research, dialogue and community-led approaches, it examines how shared water challenges can inform conflict prevention, strengthen cooperation and connect local experiences with the decisions that shape people's lives.

Adimattam, meaning "grassroots" in Tamil, explores how Indigenous knowledge, community experience and environmental research can inform more inclusive approaches to water security and environmental governance. It connects local knowledge with researchers and decision-makers to support community-led solutions that strengthen climate resilience, protect biodiversity and recognise the cultural importance of water.
