The United Nations has established the sustainable development goal initiative of clean water and sanitation. theSun thesundaily UnitedNations sanitation security water dirtywater
and sanitation security is becoming increasingly important as scarcity worsens owing to a variety of issues that demand immediate attention and continue to harm millions of vulnerable people worldwide.
However, is this supposed vision feasible when the Middle East and Africa regions have the greatest expected economic losses from climate-related water scarcity, estimated at 6% to 14% of GDP by 2050? There are possibly three dimensions by which the issue may be analysed: water as an economic problem following a potential financial crisis, worldwide geopolitical issues concerning clean water supply and domestic issues that result in poor infrastructure and resource allocation.
However, it would be factually inconsistent and incorrect to postulate the exact idea that concludes that water inaccessibility is decreasing in all places of the world. Despite this, however, the global reservoir of water accessibility is still at a shameful 35% according to world data. The worldwide economic situation, worsened by the global pandemic and disrupted supply chains, has brought the world closer to a recession.
There is an evident denigration of water infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Middle-Eastern and Central Asian Countries despite worldwide interference, exacerbated by nation-to-nation conflict. Widespread poverty and degradation will inevitably result if conflict-ridden areas over the issue of clean water and sanitation continue to grow in intensity.
History has also taught us that if this issue is not overcome, it could potentially allude to a heightened geopolitical crisis. Recently, the World Water Council urged countries across the globe to enhance efforts to ensure accessibility to clean water and sanitation for all. The latest statistics, based on the Global Water Security 2023 assessment, indicate that “three out of four people currently live in water-insecure countries”.
