** !! PLEASE SELECT THE SAME LAB TRACK FOR PART 2 & 3 AS YOU DO FOR PART 1 !! **
Please note that the labs are a three-part experience as part of one content track. Whichever lab track you choose for part 1, you will have to follow that through for part 2 & 3.

Within the international financial architecture review, how can strategic food and water access be addressed and improved? Food and water are essential for survival, but these resources are not always allocated equitably. The problems are exacerbated by private citizens migrating as a result of climate change–triggered strife and conflict.

Your participation will be at the center of this hands-on lab as we address the critical issues surrounding global food and water access. We’ll seek solutions to ensure equitable access to these essential resources worldwide and ideate for ways to create a more resilient and nourished world. Join us as we tackle these pressing issues and work toward building a future where everyone has access to nutritious food and clean water.

Together we will tackle pressing questions like these:
- How do we effectively monitor and respond to global friction points related to imperiled food and water access, which are fundamental common goods? What are the underlying causes driving these friction points?
- What governance mechanisms exist to swiftly allocate capital to identified priorities and hot spots? Can institutions like the World Bank and IMF effectively address these challenges on a large scale?
- Climate, food and water insecurities are causing an increase in migration and refugees globally. How should the needs of people and communities affected by climate change be addressed in financing and governance mechanisms?
- What opportunities exist for deploying regenerative agriculture practices on a global scale to promote sustainability and address food and water challenges?
