Session

Water is critical for life on Earth to survive but there is a finite amount of water and many stakeholders who want it. Who should determine who has access and who doesn’t? What does equitable water access look like? How much should we pay for a natural resource like water? Pacific Institute Co-Founder and Senior Fellow Peter Gleick discusses the tensions inherent in determining who should have access to water, how much businesses, agriculture, and communities should have, and how to plan for a future with less water.
