Alluvione a Valencia: proseguono i soccorsi, i morti sarebbero almeno 95. Le ultime con Mario Magarò, in collegamento da Barcellona. Allarghiamo poi il discorso alla situazione climatica più in generale, cercando di capire quanto straordinaria è stato questo fenomeno e come si inserisce nel quadro dei cambiamenti climatici, e lo facciamo con Giulio Boccaletti, Direttore scientifico del Centro EuroMediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici, autore di “Acqua: una biografia” e “Siccità: un paese alla frontiera del clima” entrambi editi da Mondadori, docente di Strategia della Terra alla Smith School di Oxford. Torniamo poi sulla vicenda dossieraggio e sulle polemiche sui mancati controlli degli accessi con Ermes Antonucci, giornalista del Foglio.

In this Science Report we speak with Giulio Boccaletti about his book, Water: A Biography which shows how water has helped shape our lives and our civilizations. This has always been the case as seen vividly in the example of ancient Egypt and the mighty Nile River.

Gran parte dell'Italia è in siccità mentre alcune zone sono colpite d'improvviso da grandi acquazzoni, grandinate e alluvioni. Il tema dell'acqua è più che mai all'ordine del giorno. Ne parliamo con lo scienziato Giulio Boccaletti, ospite in studio, e con l'attore e regista Marco Paolini in scena con uno spettacolo proprio su questa problematica e la necessità di preservare la natura. Successivamente torniamo sulle proteste nei confronti degli Airbnb sempre più numerosi nelle zone ad alta densità di turisti e, a seguire, intervistiamo Sergio Bianchi, presidente dell'Associazione "Vittime Universitarie Sisma 6 aprile 2009" e papà di Nicola, morto sotto le macerie dell'edificio di via Campo di Fossa durante il terremoto dell'Aquila.

The blood vessel of Egypt meets China: the world's plumber-in-chief. A journey which starts with the Neolithic revolution, passes through the “hydraulic century” and carries us into the future. By following the history of water, we delve into the roots of human civilization, crossing paths with science, technology, politics, and the stories of people and places.In this episode we follow the course of water. In China, in front of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest on the planet, both the force of nature and the power of man to shape and mould landscapes are on show.In Egypt, at the meeting point between the Middle East and Africa, we venture down the Nile, a river that has accompanied man since the beginning of ancient civilizations and that still today is synonymous with life for the entire region.We continue to follow water in its journey from Venice to Alexandria, from the legacy of Ancient Rome to the American Republic and the British Empire, up to the modern era and the “hydraulic century”, where institutions are shaped by the relationship between man and water.Join us on this journey with scientist Giulio Boccaletti, author of the book “Water. A Biography”, and Rehab Abd Almohsen, Egyptian science journalist and water expert: two voices that will help us understand the key role of water in the future and in the build-up to COP27.Foresight – Deep into the Future Planet, a podcast produced by the CMCC Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change and FACTA.The concept, interviews and writing are by Elisabetta Tola and Giulia Bonelli.The audio editing is by Lisa Lazzarato.The Executive Producer at CMCC is Mauro Buonocore.Foresight – Deep into the Future Planet, available on climateforesight.eu and wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Tutto è cominciato dieci mila anni fa. Per la prima volta, da sedentari, abbiamo affrontato un mondo di acqua che si muove. Le società si sono sviluppate lottando con inondazioni, siccità, temporali, potenti espressioni idriche del sistema climatico. Quella lotta millenaria, guidata dall'illusione di poter controllare il nostro ambiente, ha trasformato il nostro territorio. Ha plasmato istituzioni con radici profonde nel nostro passato—la democrazia, la repubblica, i sistemi legali, anche il monoteismo. La nostra storia è inseparabile da quella dell'acqua. Oggi, il clima è in movimento su scala planetaria, e con esso sta cambiando la distribuzione di acqua sulla Terra. Di fronte a queste sfide enormi, il passato offre ancora lezioni fondamentali per affrontare il nostro futuro.

In this episode, Dustin and Hita speak with Giulio Boccaletti, a writer, entrepreneur and honorary research associate at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford. They discuss Giulio's recent book, Water: a Biography, which he started writing during his former role as Chief Strategy Officer at The Nature Conservancy. In the book, Giulio traces the relationship between water and humanity from ancient civilizations and the Roman empire to the American West and China. He argues that the rise of the modern republic is linked to the central role water had in society, and he calls for a new era of constitutional reform that accounts for environmental and climate change. They discuss the political and institutional theory at the heart of the book, and several of its arguments and case studies, highlighted by the Tennessee Valley Authority. They conclude with brief reflections from Giulio on conservation strategy and practice, and the challenges of legitimacy in community-based conservation initiatives.

In a new book, the climate scientist and writer Giulio Boccaletti makes the case that the history of human civilization is inextricably tied to one simple and yet powerful force: water.

Giulio Boccaletti, an inter- nationally acclaimed expert on geophysical and ecological science, discusses his book, Water: A Biography, which examines the fascinating history of the connection between water and human society.

La dipendenza tra l'uomo e l'acqua è una costante della nostra specie da almeno 10.000 anni, quando l'uomo ha deciso di diventare stanziale. Questa dipendenza si è evoluta nel tempo, ha portato guerre, ma ha fatto nascere anche le prime forme di democrazia. Ha plasmato le nostre istituzioni e i nostri modelli di vita

Speciale orto: gli strumenti per coltivarlo e le fatiche & soddisfazioni che ne derivano. In occasione della Giornata Mondiale dell'acqua, interviene Giulio Boccaletti, autore del libro "Acqua".

We had the wonderful opportunity to speak with water scientist, NASA Earth Systems Science fellow and co-founder of the Mc Kinsey and company water practise Dr. Giulio Boccaletti. Many of you may be familiar with Guilio from his foundational work on the most seminal report that was ever written “Charting our water future” in collaboration with the World Bank. In this interview we speak with Guilio about his current thoughts on the charting our water future report, his journey thus far in the water industry and of course his new book "Water: a biography” which aims to share how humanity's relationship to moving water has shaped civilization, transformed political institutions, and defined people's lives.“We might find the biggest impact of water insecurity, is a flood of people, as opposed to a flood of water”

36% of cities will experience water insecurity by 2050. Giulio Boccaletti discusses the politics and history of water.“The problem doesn't really reside there. The problem is that people have gotten used to thinking about water as a technical issue that can be solved by somebody sitting in a room somewhere with a white coat. The reality is that the history of water shows that this is probably the most political and salient issue of society–How we share the resources that make it possible for us to live is a fundamentally political problem. And in nations that live together under a social contract is fundamentally a constitutional problem. So my hope is that we elevate water to a much higher level of political discourse.”Giulio Boccaletti, Ph.D., is a globally recognized expert on natural resource security and environmental sustainability.

Parag Khanna and Giulio Boccaletti by Circle Of Blue

Water is essential for economic activities as well as for the well-being of humans. Considering how critical water is to both agricultural production and domestic consumption, conflict over water and the potential ramifications of decisions made over it may have much further consequences for human well-being. It can even have an impact on economic development and social change.    The problem of getting access to fresh water is a global priority that needs to be addressed, since its scarcity has led to various problems all around the world.    Thirst for Water Security   Access to safe water is vital for the survival of all life on Earth. Civilization began along the banks of rivers and canals, and waterways played a significant role in the development of agriculture, commerce, and advances in industry, science, and technological innovation.    Water scarcity is not just a result of natural resource depletion; it is also the result of power relations and political decisions. Addressing water development as a political problem might provide light on some of the extra areas of concern.   The availability of clean drinking water has long played a role in politics, with decisions about the provision of services having the potential to positively impact or harm citizens depending on their access to safe water in their communities. Because of the scarcity of this essential resource, communities are forced to compete against one another for access to it.   Social conflicts and societal change are created and influenced at the same time by the natural conditions in which water occurs, sometimes in unexpected and unforeseen directions. There are structural obstacles in water development that address infrastructure, financing, and economic sustainability, as well as education and awareness of water issues.   For example, water has an effect on gender and income inequality in plenty of underdeveloped communities. Women are traditionally the family members responsible for retrieving water. When they spend a significant portion of their day procuring this basic resource, they are unable to alleviate their financial situation through work or education.   The Ebb and Flow of Water Scarcity   Being in a situation with no fresh water is indeed a terrifying concept since it poses a major and immediate danger to our own life. Regrettably, this is a concern that millions of individuals currently experience on a daily basis.   It is reasonable to assume that water, which occupies 70% of our planet, would always be abundant. However, fresh water, on the other hand, is rather scarce. More than two-thirds of the freshwater on the planet is frozen in glaciers or otherwise inaccessible to humans.   Despite water being virtually everywhere from seas and rivers to underground reservoirs, why is it still a scarce resource? This might happen if there is a shortage of supply or if the infrastructure for distribution is inadequate.   Water resources are being depleted in some parts of the world on a regular basis, such as in northern Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia. Excessive use of non-renewable resources to meet water needs has led some countries to extract ten times their yearly renewable water supply. If nothing is done, the people of these countries will face an impending humanitarian catastrophe if ever these water reserves become depleted.   Braving the Deluge   Water scarcity and insecurity is a threat to human lives and ecosystems everywhere. This can lead to severe malnutrition among people and gradual economic decline for affected nations.    Whole ecosystems suffer when freshwater is insufficient. Pollution may cause rivers, lakes, and aquifers to dry up. As a consequence of climate change, some places are experiencing water shortages and drought, while others are experiencing floods.   Since it has been established that water scarcity is not just an issue of supply and demand but also an issue of politics, it is critical that we tackle systemic issues associated with water resource management and habitat protection prior to the onset of the worst effects of climate change.   Governments, corporations, and local communities must cooperate to maintain adequate in-stream levels of freshwater for humans and other freshwater species, as well as to encourage ways for sustainable consumption. There is also a need for these institutions to develop and adapt innovative solutions that would aid in the effort of maintaining water supply and prevent future problems with water insecurity.   Closing Thoughts: Water, Water Everywhere   Human lives and entire civilizations depend on water to exist and thrive— and yet, the problems surrounding adequate water supply and distribution remain severely understated.   We need to understand how social pressure influences the way resources are allocated and handled. We would be better equipped in holding governments responsible and exercising our rights to clean water if we are more informed about how politics affects natural resources management.    Inadequate understanding of the relationship between access to sufficient water and national stability poses grave global security implications, particularly if remedial technology and policy measures to strengthen water resilience and assure availability and access are not adopted.   In TARTLE, we believe that proactive collaboration is the key to hurdling various issues, including those that affect humanity in a global scheme. Information and cooperation is a vital part in addressing these systemic problems, and we envision a society strengthened by these values.

As humans, we like to believe that we shape the natural world. But in reality, its laws and patterns have deeply structured our own society. To tell the story of how water has shaped humanity, on the show this week is Giulio Boccaletti, author of Water: A Biography. Check it out at http://factuallypod.com/books

Dr. Giulio Boccaletti, a globally recognized expert on natural resource security and environmental sustainability, discusses how sustainable and stable our water infrastructure is in the face of climate change, what we can tell our kids about water, and whether democracies have been better at managing water than authoritarian regimes. Dr. Boccaletti's new book is Water: A Biography.

“The problem doesn't really reside there. The problem is that people have gotten used to thinking about water as a technical issue that can be solved by somebody sitting in a room somewhere with a white coat. The reality is that the history of water shows that this is probably the most political and salient issue of society–How we share the resources that make it possible for us to live is a fundamentally political problem. And in nations that live together under a social contract is fundamentally a constitutional problem. So my hope is that we elevate water to a much higher level of political discourse.”Giulio Boccaletti, Ph.D., is a globally recognized expert on natural resource security and environmental sustainability.

In a new book, the climate scientist and writer Giulio Boccaletti makes the case that the history of human civilization is inextricably tied to one simple and yet powerful force: water.

Water is crucial to our survival and underlies the organization of our societies. What does the history of water teach us? On this episode, Giulio Boccaletti discussed the history of water.

“If there is magic on this planet,” anthropologist Loren Eiseley said, “it is contained in water.” Humans have been trying to contain that magic for millennia. Giulio Boccaletti knows this more than most anyone. With Water: A Biography, Boccaletti showcased the revealing history of how the distribution of water has shaped human civilization. We all need water to survive. It is essential to every plant and animal on this earth. Boccaletti offered up a wide-ranging environmental and social history, beginning from the earliest civilizations of sedentary farmers on the banks of the Nile, the Tigris, and Euphrates Rivers. Those early civilizations' farming techniques forever changed the world. Their irrigation systems led to multiple cropping which, in turn, led to a population explosion and labor specialization. The development of humankind flows with the development of water infrastructure. Irrigation's early structure informed social structure. The invention of the calendar, for example, sprung from agricultural necessity. In ancient Greece, a community's water well laid the groundwork for democracy. During the Roman Empire, water security led to systems of taxation. The control of water continues today, and is becoming increasingly important, as societies far and wide are dealing with water, and the lack thereof, with increasing regularity because of human-induced climate change. There's no better time to understand our relationship to the most elemental substance on earth than now. Giulio Boccaletti is a physicist and climate scientist, holding a doctorate from Princeton University, where he was a NASA Earth Systems Science Fellow. He is an honorary research associate at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford.
