Wasserknappheit wird immer mehr zu einem großen Problem - auch in unserer Region. Warum das so ist, das fragt Christian Wildt den Wasserexperten des Potsdam-Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung und Professor für Wasserhaushalt an der Humboldt-Universität, Dieter Gerten.

Warum wird das Wasser knapp, Dieter Gerten?

More than one million people live in poverty in this world, and many of those are malnourished.  Meanwhile, the population of the world keeps increasing.  Simply cutting down forests to make more farmland is not the solution to feed the world = as deforestation leads to increasing climate change and more and more species going extinct.  It looks like we have exceeded the capacity of this planet. But is that really true?  What if I told you we could feed 10 billion people, maybe more?  This is completely plausible, as long as we understand the boundaries of our planet, which affect how we fertilize, grow, transport, and even eat food. Today’s guest is Professor Dieter Gerten.  Dieter is a geographer and a hydrologist and the Head of the Working Group “Terrestrial Safe Operating Space” at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.  He is also a professor for Global Change Climatology and Hydrology at the Humboldt University of Berlin.  Dieter talks about how if we understand our planet’s boundaries, it’s possible to feed the world so no one has to go to bed hungry again.
