CONTINUOUS INNOVATION


WATER AND THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS
1 Extreme weather events and changes in water cycle patterns are making it more difficult to access safe drinking water, especially for the most vulnerable children.

Around 74% of natural disasters between 2001 and 2018 were water-related, including droughts and floods. The frequency and intensity of such events are only expected to increase with climate change.

By 2040, almost 1 in 4 children will live in areas of extremely high water stress.

Rising sea levels are causing fresh water to become salty, compromising the water resources millions of people rely on.
