In November, 2020 a webinar was organized to start deepening our understanding of how water scarcity and human rights risk are interconnected in the alcoholic beverage industry. Our special focus was directed to four wine regions which already suffer from climate change and worsening droughts; results of a related study were outlined by the webinar keynote speaker. Both the study and webinar were part of the sustainability collaboration among the Nordic Alcohol Monopolies: Alko (Finland), Systembolaget (Sweden), Vinmonopolet (Norway), Vinbúdin (Iceland) and Rúsdrekkasøla Landsins (Faroe Islands). Thank you for participating of the Water and Human Rights webinar. Please find below the presentation slides in .pdf format and links to webinar recordings.
