Water: Tim Smedley & Alok Jha
------------------------------------------------------------


**
The Six Ideas to Change the World series, in partnership with Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust, continues this evening with Tim Smedley and Alok Jha on Water.

Water scarcity is an urgent problem. While some of the world's water crisis can be attributed to changes wrought by climate change, like droughts and floods, there is also a long history of human mismanagement. What can we learn from past mistakes, and how will those lessons inform the future?

In his new book The Last Drop: Solving the World's Water Crisis, the award-winning environmental journalist Tim Smedley offers a timely and ultimately optimistic account of the global situation. In this 'smart, sobering and scholarly' book, Smedley argues that there are many solutions, from regenerative agriculture and desalination, to water-footprint labelling for consumers.

Join us to hear an inspiring and in-depth discussion of the actions we must take to better use and manage the world's water supply. Tim Smedley will be in conversation with Alok Jha, science and technology editor at The Economist and author of The Water Book.

Speakers
Tim Smedley is an award-winning envirnomental journalist who has written extensively for The Guardian, the BBC, The Sunday Times and the Financial Times. His first book, Clearing the Air, about the global effects of air pollution, published in March 2019, was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize.

Alok Jha is science and technology editor at The Economist, writing on everything from cosmology to particle physics and stem cells to climate change. He has also written and presented multiple TV and radio documentary series for the BBC. In 2018, he spent a year as a Wellcome fellow, developing new storytelling formats for complex topics. He has reported from all over the world, including live from Antarctica, and is also the author of three popular science books, including The Water Book (Headline, 2015).
