Across the globe, we are facing a critical shortage of fresh water. Already, more than 2 billion people struggle to access clean drinking water, and over 3.6 billion lack basic sanitation. Without urgent action, by 2030 – in less than 6 years! – our demand for freshwater will outstrip the supply by 40%, endangering human life and devastating global food supplies.

The water shortage is being fueled by Climate change, but it’s being made worse by corporations. Because instead of trying to help, corporate giants continue to waste and pollute water at reckless levels while also contributing to ever-increasing carbon emissions. Did you know that 80% of the water used by corporate industries worldwide is not recycled? In particular, companies that focus on industrial agriculture and manufacturing squander vast amounts of water, fueled by $700 billion in agricultural subsidies that promote overuse and waste.

It’s time to hold corporations accountable. We demand that world governments take action by cracking down on corporate water waste and Pollution and implement strict regulations on industrial water use. This includes ending harmful subsidies that currently encourage corporations to overuse precious freshwater supplies!

Please sign this petition and pledge to Support policies that prioritize human rights, environmental Conservation, and fair access to fresh water.
