Drought in Czechia
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: June 1, 2020, 19:00 – 21:00
In connection with both climate change and the intensive economic usage of the landscape, the subject of drought has become increasingly common. Indeed, the Czech environment minister has spoken of the worst drought in 500 years. However, a glance outside one’s window might give the impression that nature in the Czech Republic is blooming. Is the Czech countryside genuinely drying up? Do we have the power and the technology to keep water in the ground? And does the will do so exist?
Taking part in the debate will be Jan Skalík, head of the Save the Forests programme of Czech Friends of the Earth; student activist Kristýna Dvořáková; the chairman of the Agricultural Association of the CR, Martin Pýcha; and forester and farmer
Daniel Pitek.
Chaired by Professor Bedřich Moldan.
Introduced by Jáchym Topol.
