Water can make or break climate action

  • Summary

  • Droughts, storms or sea water rise – climate change takes its form almost always through a change in water. But water is more than just a destructive force, it is the bloodstream of the biosphere.

    In this episode Lan Wang Erlandsson, a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, shares with us how freshwater can make or break our ability to successfully combat climate change. She also explains why climate policies must look beyond transitions to renewable energy. Your host is Annette Hertwig.
