This year’s UN World Water Development Report warned of a global water crisis, unless international cooperation is rapidly stepped up.

On this week’s episode of The Lid Is On, recorded the day after the release of the study on 21 March, Conor Lennon speaks to Richard Connor, the editor-in-chief of the report, Kristin Meyer from the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and Neil Dhot, from the International Federation of private water operators.

The conversation took place as part of the SDG Media Zone sessions at the UN Water Conference, held between 22 and 24 March.
