Presented by the Gary C. Comer Family

Participants joined in a roundtable discussion on water, moderated by WGN radio host John Williams and featuring Jeffrey Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and Peter Annin , author of The Great Lakes Water Wars. This forum explored how water issues are related to health, poverty, globalization, and climate change on local, regional, and global levels. During Q & A, participants engaged with the speakers to discuss solutions to these critical issues.
