Water interactions: A systemic view : Why we need to comprehend the water-climate-energy-food-economics-lifestyle connections

Trong hai thập kỷ qua, mối quan hệ qua lại giữa nước và năng lượng đã được công nhận. Tương tự như vậy, mối liên hệ giữa lương thực và nông nghiệp ngày càng trở nên rõ ràng và đáng báo động. Trong năm qua, số lượng hiện tượng thời tiết cực đoan đã được ghi nhận ở hầu hết các nơi trên thế giới. Đây là một minh chứng rõ ràng về việc phải hiểu và giảm bớt hậu quả của biến đổi khí hậu như thế nào. Những tác động của kinh tế, lối sống và sự bất bình đẳng đáng báo động đang ngày càng trở nên dễ nhận thấy. Nếu phần giàu có trên thế giới không sẵn lòng thực hiện những thay đổi căn bản thì một nửa dân số ít giàu hơn trên toàn cầu sẽ làm gì để đối phó với cuộc khủng hoảng tài nguyên và khí hậu cũng không thành vấn đề. Mục đích của cuốn sách là chứng minh và mô tả sự phụ thuộc chặt chẽ giữa biến đổi khí hậu, nước, năng lượng, thực phẩm và lối sống.
