Description :

What are the key elements of systems change that can be put in motion with speed, urgency, and coordination to address escalating water crises around the world? Today, water insecurity — too much, too little, or too polluted — is threatening food and energy production, undermining economic, social, and environmental stability, and weakening supply chain resilience and community health. J. Carl Ganter is managing director of Circle of Blue and member of the World Economic Forum Global Future Council on the Energy Nexus, and former National Geographic and Time Magazine photojournalist. He will explore the world’s intensifying water crises through a global and regional lens; discuss the crises' connections to the nexus of food, energy, climate, and health; and show how a “new operating system” for water can drive greater cooperation, encourage more robust water sector investment, and achieve scaled and lasting impacts that both strengthen water security and bolster climate resilience.
