This week we take a trip to Mexico, a petrostate that just elected climate scientist Claudia Sheinbaum as its next president. She\u2019s also the former mayor of Mexico City, the largest city in North America, which has been going through a major water crisis due to climate change. It\u2019s at risk of running out of water \u2014 and it has been for a long time. In fact, much of the country is coping with drought and heat waves exacerbated by climate change.\nChristine Colvin, a hydrogeologist with WWF International, was in Cape Town, South Africa, at the height of a recent megadrought. The city was approaching Day Zero, when it would not be able to supply water to residents. Colvin says that of all the ways climate disruption impacts our lives, the most critical may be to our relationship with water.\xa0\n"If the climate crisis is a shark, then water are its teeth. This is the thing that\u2019s really going to bite us first and hardest."\xa0\n\nGuests:\nOscar Ocampo, Coordinator for Energy and Environment, Mexican Institute of Competitiveness\nChristine Colvin, Water Policy Lead, WWF International\n\n\U0001f39f\ufe0f Climate One has three exciting live shows on the calendar featuring conversations with Tom Steyer, Jane Goodall, and Justin Pearson.
