Introduction
The Quest for Atmospheric Water: Historical, Philosophical, Theological, Political, and Legal Issues
Present in our environment in the form of vapor, liquid water droplets, and ice crystals, atmospheric water shapes our climate, our landscapes, and even our imaginations. Long neglected, it has now emerged as a major scientific, political, and societal issue, at a time when climate crises and water shortages are redefining our relationship with water.
This resolutely multidisciplinary conference brings together international law, ethnography, philosophy, history, religious studies, and theology to explore a crucial question: how has humanity, both in the past and today, come to terms with this volatile resource?
