Our Water Future: Source of Innovation and Transformation, or Struggle Over Scarcity
Conversation with Seth M. Siegel, author, lawyer, activist, and serial entrepreneur
Due to climate change, population growth and contamination, water scarcity is growing. Billions of people are already living in water-scarce places, and the trend line isn't looking good. Most governments are distracted and moving too slowly to address a tsunami of a problem that is coming our way. Only business has the focus and capital to get the world to the other side of a problem growing into a crisis.
Seth Siegel, water expert and author of New York Times bestseller Let There Be Water, will share his insights on why CEOs, investors, and policymakers must rethink their approach to water from agriculture to data centers and from factories to power plants. Famous for his solutions to a range of water problems, Siegel will share how addressing several water problems simultaneously will yield the best outcome.
Join us for a high-stakes discussion on the future of water security—and why those who act now will shape the next era of business and policy leadership.
