Water instability is a global challenge that will have far-reaching implications in the coming years. It is inextricably linked to conflict and competition between international and national governments as well as non-state actors in the private sector. On the other hand, it is also the source of new forms of innovation and cooperation. How will issues of rising population, political instability, violent conflict, migration, displacement, trade, and production exacerbate the stress on clean water? What is the outlook for the conflict? What mechanisms exist to mitigate confrontation or facilitate cooperation within the international community? And what policies should countries, particularly the U.S., consider implementing in the wake of water scarcity? Joining us to discuss these questions and more is Dr. Aaron Salzberg, Director of the Water Institute and the Don and Jennifer Holzworth Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Dr. Scott Moore, Director of China Programs and Strategic Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania.Follow us at:Network2020.orgTwitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020"Sunrise Expedition" by Joseph McDadeSong: Evan King - From Other SunsYoutube:    / evankingaudio  Free download at: https://www.evankingmusic.com

Water Wars: The Geopolitics of Water Scarcity with Scott Moore and Aaron Salzberg

Episode 126: Aaron Salzberg is the Director of the Water Institute at UNC (https://waterinstitute.unc.edu). The goal of the Water Institute is to contribute to a more water secure world through research, policy, and practice.

In this role, he led the development of the first U.S. government Global Water Strategy and served as the Department’s lead representative on international water issues.  He currently advises on issues related to water security, access to drinking water and sanitation, and conflicts related to shared waters.
