UN Report Warns , Growing Number of People , Face Water Scarcity.
On March 21, the United Nations released a report warning
that 26% of the world's population, approximately
2 billion people, lack access to safe drinking water. .
According to NPR, the report comes
on the eve of the U.N.'s first conference on
the topic of water in over 45 years. .
The U.N.'s World Water Development Report 2023 revealed that 46% of people lack access to basic
sanitation globally, equal to about 3.6 billion people. .
NPR reports that the U.N. has laid out
a goal to ensure that all people in the world
have access to clean water by 2030.
According to Richard Connor, editor-in-chief of the
report, meeting the goal will require somewhere
between $600 billion and $1 trillion per year. .
Connor said that with 70% of the world's
water use going to agriculture, it becomes
critical for irrigation to be more efficient. .
According to the U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) report, as climate change
continues, water scarcity is expected to increase. .
Seasonal water scarcity will increase in
regions where it is currently abundant —
such as Central Africa, East Asia and parts
of South America — and worsen in regions
where water is already in short supply, such
as the Middle East and the Sahara in Africa, World Water Development Report 2023, via NPR.
An increase in intensity or frequency of droughts
and 'heat extremes' can be expected in most
regions as a direct result of climate change.
The UNESCO report states that an average
of 10% of the world's population already lives
in an area with high or critical water stress.

Scientists Release Urgent , 'Final Warning' , On Climate Crisis.
'The Guardian' reports that scientists have issued a
"final warning" regarding the climate crisis as they claim
the world is on the brink of irrevocable damage.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
comprised of the world's top climate researchers, released
the final part of its six part assessment on March 20.
'The Guardian' reports that the comprehensive
review boils down to one clear message: , act now, before its too late.
UN secretary general António Guterres emphasized
the message of the report, stating that the world requires , "climate action on all fronts:
everything, everywhere all at once.".
This report is a clarion call to massively
fast-track climate efforts by every country
and every sector and on every timeframe, Kaisa Kosonen, Climate expert at Greenpeace International, via 'The Guardian'.
According to the IPCC assessment, extreme weather
caused by climate change has resulted in increased
deaths from rapidly rising temperatures in all regions.
Among the devastation already inflicted on large areas of the globe,
the assessment sites millions of lives destroyed by droughts
and floods, increasing hunger and loss of vital ecosystems.
This report is definitely a final warning
on 1.5C. If governments just stay on their
current policies, the remaining carbon
budget will be used up before
the next IPCC report [due in 2030], Kaisa Kosonen, Climate expert at Greenpeace International, via 'The Guardian'.
According to the IPCC, over three billion people
already live in parts of the world that are
"highly vulnerable" to climate breakdown.
The report warns that the world is already approaching
the limit to which it is able to adapt to severe changes, as
weather extremes are "increasingly driving displacement."
