In the latest episode of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development's podcast NatureUnheard, Professor Katrina Charles and Senior Research Associate Saskia Nowicki join Adonai Herrera-Martinez to explore what it really takes to protect freshwater in a changing climate – and what’s at stake if we don’t.
Katrina and Saskia explain why freshwater is so easily taken for granted, despite making up only a tiny fraction of the planet’s water, and unpack the less visible challenges of delivering safe drinking water – from infrastructure and maintenance to governance, financing and monitoring.
The episode is supported by Czechia, Switzerland and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
It was produced by Olga Aristeidou and Cecilia Calatrava.
