Karen Piper | The Price of Thirst
Events | Headline and Cultural Forums

Imagine a landscape where thirst is political, drought is a business opportunity, and multinational corporations control our most necessary natural resource. The result of seven years of investigation across six continents and a dozen countries, and scores of interviews with CEOs, activists, environmentalists, and climate change specialists, Karen Piper explores a harrowing picture of a world out of balance, with the distance between the haves and have-nots of water inexorably widening and the coming crisis moving ever closer.
