Claudia Ringler, Deputy Division Director of IFPRI’s Environment and Production Technology Division, was interviewed by the BBC’s Justin Rowlatt on water shortages in India. “Shortages are growing quite rapidly in many places in the world,” she told the BBC. “And it’s often due to a poor rainfall endowment as a result of climate change. Also another reason, of course, is a lack of investment in water supplies.” Listen to the full interview here; Claudia’s segment begins at 21:30.
