Episode 41: Freshwater availibility with Lis Mullin Bernhardt

On today’s Wild For Change podcast, we will be discussing freshwater availability with Lis Mullin Bernhardt, a United Nations Programme Officer for Water.  Her previous work for the UN includes Coordinator for the Global Adaptation Network, an initiative that helps the world build resilience to climate change. Water is essential in order for us to survive but as climate change disrupts freshwater availability, water scarcity has become more prevalent around the globe.  According to Drought in Numbers, a 2022 UN report, found that one billion people face water stress annually for periods of time.  Ms. Bernhardt states that estimate can go up to 3.5 billion people in the next ten years.  We will learn what is a freshwater source, how climate change disrupts freshwater availability but how water can also mitigate climate change. Website: http://www.wildforchange.comTwitter: @WildForChangeFacebook: /wildforchangeInstagram: wildforchange
