SUMMARY:Water In and For the Economy
DESCRIPTION:India is home to 18% of the global population\, but has only 4% of the world’s available freshwater resources. In an increasingly warming world\, water may yet become India’s weakest link. This panel discussion explores water as both a critical challenge and a strategic resource for India’s economic future. Based on the book Water\, Nature\, Progress: Solutions for a New India\, the discussion presents a blueprint for action through policy reform\, public finance\, private investment and behavioural change. \nAs the ultimate resource\, the impact of water on public health\, energy\, agriculture\, urbanization\, infrastructure\, manufacturing and human development is pervasive\, making water resource management vital to the country’s future. The issues at hand are complicated\, from the need for equity between the agricultural\, industrial and commercial sectors and the impact of unsustainable water management to increased urbanization and climate change. Governed differently\, though\, water could become a key driver of sustainable economic transformation. \nVenue: Auditorium\n\n\nLeveraging India’s Most Valuable Resource\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJBJgUAhwr99Er2GQK4TDChvtjDoQbCGiQV1OrjIo90iDRUA/viewform?usp=publish-editor)\n*Speakers*: Parameswaran Iyer\, Arunabha Ghosh\, William Rex\, Gopal Naik\, Uma Mahadevan Dasgupta\n*Event Categories*: Environment
