About the Speech:
Understanding the interdependencies between water, energy and food is crucial for policy-makers and business-people, particularly as global population growth places increasing stress on all these sectors. For example, the most recent World Energy Outlook from the IEA in Paris found that water consumption for energy production will double by 2035. This seminar explored the depth of the interconnections between water, energy and food and consider how effective policy can promote the security and sustainability of these essential resources now and in the future.
This seminar was kindly supported by Shell.
