Highlights

The effects of water scarcity on business, people and the planet are interlinked. Securing an adequate supply of clean water despite the damage inflicted by climate change is one of the world’s most urgent challenges. Individual corporate initiatives are not enough. Water scarcity is a complex systemic problem and requires a three-pronged climate response: facilitate safe and affordable drinking water services; build resilience of communities; and prevent water scarcity through early action. We need concerted, collective action to create a more water secure world, and achieve Water Security for All by 2030
