Earth Talk, Episode 6
At the 17th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development, the Global Public Policy Network was co-ordinating advocacy around water as a cross-cutting issue. Here Armando Canchanya checks in with Hannah Stoddart from the GPPN Secretariat, and Lesha Witmer from the Women for Water Partnership to discuss why water underpins all the other themes under discussion.
Greentables Episode 4: Watering down the issues?
Water, consumption, international law and human rights are under discussion during this Greentable, where Hannah Stoddart is joined by environmental lawyer Randy Christensen from Canadian NGO Ecojustice, Danish Sustainable Development Ambassador Aagaard Andersen, and Olcay Ünver, Coordinator of the United Nations World Water Assessment Programme. Discussions focus on water's role for sustainable development, how to manage water scarcity, and how the human right to water interacts with water as an economic good.
