Bridport Literary Festival: Liam Fox

With Russia’s aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is gripped by concerns over energy security. Yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the 21st century than competition for oil or gas. A combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty will shape the years ahead – water. Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns.
