Closing out this season on water and nature, in this episode, we welcomed Professor Newsha Ajami, the Chief Development Officer for Research at the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.After 18 months of collaboration among water leaders, the Aspen National Water Strategy was launched. The ambitious 56-page document explicitly reframes water security as economic infrastructure, tying it to job security, competitiveness and growth – not just environmental protection.Newsha talks through the thinking behind the strategy, who was involved and what it hopes to achieve across the US.
