Of all the environmental concerns related to climate change, water bankruptcy is among the most pressing. Water is intimately linked to everything that we do, and we are already seeing pressures from water shortages underpin social and political challenges all around the globe. On May 15, join us to explore how we can find the right solutions to such a complex problem with Dr. Kaveh Madani, director of the Institute for Water, Environment, and Health at United Nations University. This is our final Foreign Policy Forum of the season, so we hope to see you there!
