Amid historic droughts and increasing strain on shared water resources, the U.S.-Mexico relationship faces a critical test. The 1944 Water Treaty, which governs water distribution between the two nations, is under intense pressure as climate change, agricultural demands and political tensions converge. President Donald Trump has recently amplified the issue by threatening to impose tariffs on Mexico for allegedly failing to meet its water delivery obligations — framing water not just as a natural resource, but as a geopolitical lever. 

This webinar will examine the diplomatic challenges surrounding the current water crisis, the legal and environmental frameworks in place, and the broader lessons for binational cooperation in the face of climate-driven scarcity.

Join experts in diplomacy, law and environmental policy to discuss how both countries can navigate rising tensions and build resilient, equitable water management strategies for the future.

The webinar will be offered in both English and Spanish. Interpretation services will be available, allowing you to choose your preferred language during the session.
