Event Description : "Global Choke Point: Water-Energy-Food Confrontations in China, US and India" a talk by Jennifer Turner.
The conflicting demand for water, food, and energy is one of the defining challenges of the 21st century. Global Choke Point, a collaboration between the Wilson Center and Circle of Blue, explores the peril and promise of this nexus with frontline reporting, data, and policy dialogues. Dr. Jennifer Turner, Director of the Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum, will anchor her talk on the findings from China where 20 percent of the country’s annual water use goes to produce energy, chemicals, and gas from coal. Choke Point: China reporting also raised sobering questions on the large and overlooked energy footprint of water in China. Over 20 multimedia reports on China’s choke points have attracted considerable interest from policymakers, researchers, and NGOs in and outside China, catalyzing new research, policy discussions, and programming. Dr. Turner will contrast these natural resources stresses in China with those emerging in the United States and India.
