WORLD WATER SUMMIT

摘要

Fifty years after the publication of Dune, Frank Herbert's vision of a parched planet seems rather more than half a century closer to reality. Coherent plans to guarantee a continued water supply still barely register on the global agenda. To find insights and answers, The Economist Events invited leaders to a World Water Summit. Co-sponsored by Ecolab and Monsanto, the London Summit examined the impact of global water scarcity and sanitation challenges on businesses and communities and identified how individuals, companies and countries might make better use of water resources.
