“Bringing The Anthropology Of Water Into International Policy: A Project With The United Nations”
In 2016, faced with alarming projections about impending water shortages worldwide, the United Nations decided that it was a matter of urgency to provide global leadership focused specifically on water. It appointed a High Level Panel on Water to address the issues and to develop some new Principles for Water to underpin its recently established Sustainability Goals. The Panel’s remit was to encourage Heads of State to develop more sustainable policies and practices in relation to water governance, management and use, in particular by rethinking how water is valued.
