World Water Week in
Stockholm is very policy oriented. This year, much

NEWS: Freshwater Climate Adaptation Primer
15/08/08 08:02
Just published online
today, the ides of August, is a flyer for
policymakers and water resource managers that I
wrote with a good friend and colleague. Intended as
a primer on climate change and freshwater
conservation and economic development, it’s an
introduction to some of the basic of my work. On

talks I’ve given to a wide range of scientific,

the past eight months. Be forewarned: the
download is about 3 mb. Download it
yourself, read it onscreen, and save some
trees. Read
