The International Conference on Water Security, Risk and Society was held April 16-18th 2012 at the University of Oxford. The event convened many of the world’s thought leaders from science, policy and enterprise to understand the status of and pathways to water security at multiple scales. The conference offers a platform for 200 academics, policymakers and business leaders to respond to society’s pressing water security challenges by (i) taking stock of the evidence base informing policy choices and strategic business decisions; and (ii) establishing investment priorities for science-policy-enterprise partnerships. The conference fosters exchange across developed and developing countries and regions, seeking to identify and elucidate global interdependencies between different socio-economic and cultural contexts. Now presentation slides and audio are available online. http://www.water.ox.ac.uk/events/water-security-risk-and-society/programme/
