Tharman Shanmugaratnam on the Interconnectedness of Food, Water, and Climate Change

Co-Chair Tharman Shanmugaratnam emphasizes the inseparable connection between food security, water management, and climate change while delivering the McDougall Memorial Lecture at the 43rd Ministerial Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).
