The Watery Road to Copenhagen: Podcast with Three Groups

18/08/09 15:58

Lets take two scenarios. On the 18th of December, the world walks away with a new global deal on climate change. The agreement includes progressive emission targets for rich countries, nationally appropriate mitigation strategies for developing countries, financing for adaptation and a good institutional framework. Alternatively, on the 18th December the negotiations finally break down, no deal is struck and world leaders walk away with nothing. In our second breakfast roundtable we tackle the implications of the UNFCCC negotiations on international water management policy. Listen in here.

Welcome. I'm glad you're here. In the year since this blog started, the site has had visitors from over 110 countries. I work in the new field of climate adaptation, from a water-sector perspective. Some background material on this topic is available in a pdf. But this site really focuses on the living, active details of freshwater climate adaptation, my travels while doing that work, and reflections on what emerging political, social, cultural, scientific, and environmental trends mean for freshwater climate adaptation.
