In Conversation with Peter Gleick: Water's Role in Violence and Peace
Registration
About Event
Join Burnt Island Ventures for a conversation with Peter Gleick — MacArthur Fellow, co-founder of the Pacific Institute, and one of the world's foremost thinkers on water — about his book "When the Well Is Dry: How Water Fuels Violence and Shapes Peace".
From the Sumerians to Mad Max, water is and has been depicted as a key shaper and definer of conflict through human history. Peter's new book traces the relationship between water and violence, and how we can move from conflict to cooperation and peace. This is a far-too-often overlooked discussion in the climate world, and Peter is the foremost global authority on the subject.
The discussion will be recorded and released as an episode of the Fundamental Molecule podcast.
