As climate change accelerates, it’s turning one of our most essential resources, water, into a precious and increasingly scarce commodity.

Across the globe, extreme weather is putting unprecedented pressure on freshwater supplies; deepening inequality, driving people from their homes, and even sparking conflict. As the global water crisis escalates, could we see mass migration, instability, and a new era of water conflict?

How can the world respond before this vital resource runs dry?
