Looming water supply 'bankruptcy' puts billions at risk, UN report warns
The UN warns of a looming water supply 'bankruptcy' affecting billions globally due to overuse and diminishing resources. Nearly 75% of the population lives in water-insecure regions, with 4 billion facing severe scarcity annually. The report highlights unsustainable extraction and pollution leading to economic damages exceeding $300 billion yearly. It calls for a new global water agenda to address these issues, while noting that population growth is a significant factor in the crisis.
