This is Waterproof Live! – recorded during Waterproof 2026 at the Fokker Terminal in The Hague.

During this special live podcast episode, recorded in the middle of the event floor, Tracy Metz speaks with experts about one of today’s most urgent water challenges: how do we move from ideas and innovation to implementation and long-term resilience?

Together with Jonathan Groubert and guests Neha Mungekar (IHE Delft Institute for Water Education), Philip Minderhoud (Wageningen University & Research / Deltares) and Stephen Teeuwen (Netherlands Commission for Environmental Assessment), the conversation explores climate adaptation, land subsidence, governance, local collaboration and the human side of water solutions.

As one of the guests puts it:
“You don’t have to be an expert, you need to be human.”
