Energy and Resources Group Annual Lecture

The Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley has, from its inception a half century ago, educated many of today’s experts and policymakers about the truly interdisciplinary nature of global challenges and solutions. Dr. Peter Gleick, a member of one of ERG’s early cohorts, especially took to heart the idea that the resource and environmental challenges we face are multifaceted.

In this year’s ERG Annual Lecture, Gleick will reflect on ERG and the part it has played in his thinking and life’s work, and he will describe the human history of water as laid out in his new book, The Three Ages of Water. He will discuss the ties between water, energy, food, climate, and security, tell stories of water, and present his vision of a sustainable future for water.
