In this talk, Professor Mark Lubell considers the future of water governance as the effects of climate change are being felt in regions all across the world. Drawing upon extensive empirical research and experimental modeling of watershed governance, he will explore how cooperation problems often serve as the cause of many environmental conflicts.
