Celebrate World Water Day with a thought-provoking talk by Giulio Boccaletti, author of one of The Economist's best books of 2021, Water: A Biography

 

Take a deep dive into the significance of this elemental substance as Boccaletti explores our relationship with water, the roles it has played throughout history, how it has inspired art and culture, and how we can combat water scarcity by working to preserve what we have left of this finite source.
