To launch this two-year programme of work, John travelled with the
project’s Principal Investigator (Prof Peter Kraftl, University of Birmingham) to
visit São Paulo state during January.
The trip involved a range of
presentations, impact workshops, community visits, and fascinating fieldtrips
to key sites relating to water and energy issues in the region. More
information will follow in future blog posts.
