Join Green Initiatives for a special event with leading experts on China’s looming water crisis. The event aims to address the current state of China’s water security, and engage in in-depth workshops & discussions on topics such as the effects of industrial agriculture on water security, the pressures of an increasing population on water distribution, and the impact of climate change on water accessibility, especially in the context of China.
The event is being realized through the generous sponsorship of Roca, also the founder of the We Are Water Foundation that promotes water conservation and combats water scarcity through research, education, health, and infrastructure.
Background
Projected estimates of China’s 2030 per-capita water resources of 1760 cubic meters are dangerously close to official markers of water shortage, 1700 cubic meters. Threatened by its rapidly increasing population and burgeoning economy, water security is the next public health issue that the people and government of China need to confront.
Learn what a China without water could look like, the current and future implications of water scarcity, and what you as an individual can do to fight against the water crisis.
