Water can make or break climate action

Droughts, storms or sea water rise – climate change takes its form almost always through a change in water. But water is more than just a destructive force, it is the bloodstream of the biosphere.

She also explains why climate policies must look beyond transitions to renewable energy. Your host is Annette Hertwig.
