🌀 We're pushing the entire water cycle out of balance. We're threatening the stability of all sources of freshwater. Co-Chair @jrockstrom explains the urgent need to prioritize water in the climate negotiations at #COP28: bit.ly/47YDz4u #TurningTheTide #GlobalGoals

🌦️ Without a focus on water, the world will not meet its climate goals. At this year’s #COP28, we'll be making the case for urgent attention to the #watercrisis. Find out more and join the discussions: bit.ly/47B0P8W #TurningTheTide #ClimateAction

🚨 We are threatening the very stability of freshwater. At our side event to #UN2023WaterConference, our Co-Chair @jrockstrom laid out the scale and urgency of the #wateraction challenge we are facing. #TurningTheTide on the world’s water crisis 👉 bit.ly/40lpURC

New @Nature Commentary: #Water must be recast as a global common good. That means states establish an obligation under international law to ensure the protection of the global water cycle for all people & generations. @Andersen_LS @Mazzucato_M @jrockstrom pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

Our Nature Commentary on the need for new economics of water. We are pushing the entire global water cycle out of balance. And it is not only mismanagement and global warming. It is also green water shifts changing moisture recycling and future rainfall. nature.com/articles/d4158…

If we fail on water, we will fail on climate change and virtually all the #SDGs. We need collective and systemic action based on a new economics of #water. Read my piece for @Nature co-authored with @jrockstrom, my fellow co-chair of @watercommongood nature.com/articles/d4158…

We are facing a completely new magnitude of the #watercrisis. We are pushing the entire #water cycle out of balance. We are threatening the stability of all sources of freshwater. @jrockstrom at our #TurningTheTide event #UNWater2023Conference

Precipitation, the source of all freshwater, is determined by factors including: 💧 domestic water use and governance 🤝 collective management of the climate system 🌍 neighbouring countries forests and ecosystems bit.ly/3liK2oo #UN2023WaterConference #TurningTheTi…

For the first time in history, human activities are jeopardizing #water at its very source. #Climatechange & deforestation are reshaping the #monsoon, causing ice on the Tibetan plateau to melt, affecting freshwater supplies to more than 1 billion people. project-syndicate.org/commentary/new…
