Abstract
Paul Bauman discusses his Global Sustainability Lecture, “A strategy for improving rural water supply development in Sub-Saharan Africa.” He highlights how water impacts all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. He outlines the impact of 2 billion people living with water stress and how it could reach more than 5 billion in the next 10 years. Bauman also shares why every geoscientist needs to be aware of this crisis, how it impacts their work, and what actions can address the issue.
Paul Bauman讨论了他的全球可持续性演讲“改善撒哈拉以南非洲农村供水发展的战略”。他强调了水如何影响联合国所有17个可持续发展目标。他概述了20亿生活在水压力中的人的影响,以及在未来10年内如何达到50多亿。鲍曼还分享了为什么每个地球科学家都需要意识到这场危机,它如何影响他们的工作,以及采取什么行动可以解决这个问题。
