The UN warns the world has entered an era of “global water bankruptcy,” with many water systems beyond recovery to historical baselines. Smallholder farmers, Indigenous Peoples, low-income urban residents, women, and youth bear the brunt of scarcity, while more powerful actors capture most benefits. Nearly three-quarters of the global population live in water-insecure regions, with four billion experiencing severe scarcity annually, costing $307 billion in drought impacts. UN experts call for structured recovery plans focused on halting overuse, protecting essential resources and aligning policies with hydrological realities.
