WATER SCARCITY THREATENS ECONOMY



Worsening water scarcity, fueled by climate change, could have a severe impact by 2050 on the GDPs of regions such as the Middle East and the Sahel in Africa, the World Bank warns in a new report. The international organization says that scarcity could provoke migrational movements as well as conflicts and warns that there may be up to two-thirds less water available in cities by 2050, partly because of “competition from other uses,” for example energy and agriculture.
