New World Bank report Uncharted Waters presents new evidence on how increasingly erratic rainfall impacts farms, firms and families.

The report proposes solutions to avoid a parched path and help chart a new course. In this podcast, one of the report’s authors Richard Damania discusses its findings with Communications Officer Martin Hall. To learn more, go to: www.worldbank.org/unchartedwaters
