He currently leads and coordinates strategic science development at the program and his current research projects include a global assessment of sustainable solutions achieving SDGs under socioeconomic and climate change and increasing water scarcity, the Water Futures and Solutions (WFaS) initiative, the inter-sectoral climate change impacts assessments (ISIpedia), supporting risk assessment and adaptation at multiple spatial scales (COMICC), the European Climate Prediction system (EUCP) and Food-water-energy for Urban Sustainable Environments (FUSE).

He has participated in and led a number of international projects including the European GLOWASIS (Global Water Scarcity Information Service) Project, ISI-MIP (Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project), LandMIP (Land Modelling Intercomparison Project), World Resources Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, and EartH2Observe (Global Earth Observation for Integrated Water Resource Assessment). He has also been involved in in the Fifth and Sixth Assessment Report (AR5/6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (Working Group I/II). He is also a lead author of the UNEP GEO-6 (Global Environmental Outlook) for Freshwater.

He has been the recipient of the Horton (Hydrology) Research Grant by the American Geophysical Union (AGU; 2012), European Geoscience Union (EGU) Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists (2018) as well as American Geophysical Union (AGU) Hydrologic Science Early Career Award (2018). He has also been awarded the prestigious Hydrological Award from the Dutch Hydrological Society (NHV; 2017), the NICE STEP (NISTEP) Award from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT) and National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (2017), and the Young Scientist Prize from the MEXT (2018).

Prof. Dr. Wada has been invited to over 220 conferences worldwide. He is an (associate) editor of Water Resources Research (AGU), Environmental Research Communications (ERC), One Earth (Cell Press) and Hydrological Research Letters. Prof. Dr. Wada has (co)authored about 230 publications, 150 of which appeared in international peer-reviewed journals. The citation of these peer-reviewed papers exceeds 2300 each year. He has been selected as a highly cited researcher (top 1%) by Web of Science/Scopus.
