Many scientists and social observers say the looming water crisis is the most critical issue facing humans and the environment. Freshwater and saltwater sources are threatened by overuse, misuse and pollution. The Moving Mountains Symposium will highlight the enormous risks we are taking with our most precious resource, as well as offer solutions on how to best take action.
The Symposium is an all-day topical immersion that includes short presentations, panel discussions and audience Q&A. Includes a sumptuous outdoor lunch.
