Extreme storms bring water, and both are transforming landscapes. Cyclones and floods have displaced millions, overwhelmed infrastructure, and destabilized fragile states. Too much water is proving as disruptive as scarcity, exposing inequalities and governance gaps. This dialogue asks how societies can manage cascading water shocks — and whether shared vulnerabilities might foster new forms of cooperation.
Join our online panel as experts discuss the impacts of floods and cyclones, the vulnerabilities they expose, and strategies for building cooperation and resilience in a warming world.
Guests: Bikas Biswas (CARITAS Bangladesh) and Kim Smet (Industrial Economics).
Hosts: Michael Hauser (BOKU) and Greg Sixt (MIT)
