Global Water Crisis Threatens Economies and Ecosystems

The Global Commission on the Economics of Water reports that the Earth's water cycle is severely disrupted due to climate change and poor water management, affecting nearly 3 billion people with water scarcity. This imbalance threatens over 50% of global food production and could reduce GDPs by up to 15% in low-income countries by 2050. The report calls for a paradigm shift in water management, emphasizing sustainable agriculture, improved pricing, and pollution reduction to restore balance and address the interconnected issues of climate change and water scarcity.
