Water is running out—and fast. Over 2 billion people already struggle to access clean drinking water, and by 2030, global demand will outstrip supply by 40%. That’s just five years away. Meanwhile, corporations are draining and polluting freshwater sources with little consequence, all while billions face hunger, drought, and collapsing food systems.
Industrial agriculture and manufacturing waste 80% of the water they use—and thanks to $700 billion in subsidies, they’re incentivised to keep doing it. Over half our global food production is at risk within 25 years. This crisis is urgent, avoidable, and happening within our lifetimes.
We need world governments to crack down on corporate water abuse, stop wasteful subsidies, and prioritise access to clean water for people and planet—not profit.
