Water, whisky & Greta – realising water’s value with John Matthews | S5 Ep.8
Description
This week, John Matthews, Executive Director at Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA), joins Will Sarni & Tom Freyberg to #TheStream to talk about his origin story as a butterfly biologist, work with the WWF and a life-changing trip to India where he was given a sobering case on the spiritual value of water.
Plus:
- John discusses the founding of AGWA and what water resilience really means – way beyond the hard engineering
- The upcoming UN Water Week in New York
- How to get a whisky sponsorship for the podcast.
And, the three of them talk about popular narratives, such as: “climate change is the shark and water is the teeth.” However, as you’ll hear from John, this is a huge oversimplification, and he provides a suggested alternative!
We hope you enjoy the episode!
