Water
risks
are
rising
to
the
top
of
the
policy
agenda
and
interconnected
with
global
challenges,
ranging
from
forced
migration
and
food
insecurity
to
gender
inequality
and
public
health.
This
talk
identifies
the
hotspots
and
blind
spots
of
water
risk,
examining
how
urbanisation,
changing
diets
and
global
supply
chains
are
transforming
conflicts
over
water.
Drawing
widely
from
hydrology
and
history
to
economics
and
public
policy,
Dr.
Garrick
argues
we
need
to
focus
on
the
patterns
and
politics
of
large-scale
collective
action
–
the
science
of
human
cooperation
–
to
chart
effective
and
equitable
models
for
governing
water.
