A coalition of cities is aiming to share information and best practices about dealing with issues like drought, dust storms and water use and management. The Arid Cities Network is based in Doha, Qatar, and as Anthony Flint explains, there are plenty of cities across the globe that could benefit from it.

Flint is a Senior Fellow at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He joins The Show to talk more about this.
