Podcast Target Zero Hunger - Stories from the field

Pakistan has the fourth-highest rate of water consumption in the world. The country’s agriculture sector uses the most amount of fresh water than any other sector. Rainfall has steadily declined over the past few decades and experts warn the country will approach “absolute scarcity” of water by 2025. 

In the village of Azizabad in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, farming communities are being hit hard by the lack of fresh water. The impacts of climate change are further intensifying the problem. But with support from UK Aid, the Food and Agriculture Organization has introduced a range of initiatives to build resilient farming systems in affected areas.

It wasn’t the populist sweep many were predicting, but the center-left and center-right coalitions lost their 40-year majority. Clearly, there will be a new alignment of power and European unity will be tested.

What are the important implications? Will the “Green Wave” force political action on environmental policy? What do the populist victories of EU Parliamentarians from France and the UK mean for future EU leadership and the Brexit process?  

Join us by phone as our Wilson Center experts discuss these and other questions.
