In this video, you'll get to know UVA Darden Professor Peter Debaere, what makes him tick and how his work blends economic theory with human-centered impact, offering Darden students and global thinkers alike a deeper understanding of how economics shapes our planet and future. An international economist with roots in Belgium, Debaere brings a powerful global lens to some of the most urgent questions of our time: 🌍 How does water scarcity impact global trade? 💧 How can water markets work as a tool in the fight against water scarcity? 🌍 What lessons can the U.S. water system offer the world? As leader of UVA’s Global Water Initiative, Debaere leads pioneering research on water use and sustainability in the U.S., Chile, and Mexico—supported by a Rockefeller Grant in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. #globaleconomics #economicsofwater 🔗Debaere's - Let's Talk About Water: https://youtu.be/ALgBpB6YJ1s 🔗Watch more UVA Darden Faculty Profiles: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKH1z_aubPdM_fODxF3BE-J7Bh0NVe_wk&si=sIhuykX9jUGa_1vz 🔗 Learn more about UVA Darden: https://www.darden.virginia.edu
