Where Water Stress Will be Highest by 2025

Many cities around the world are facing water scarcity.

And this issue is only going to become worse as urban populations grow and climate change intensifies.

Projections by the World Resources Institute (WRI) shows how 51 of the 164 countries and territories analysed are expected to suffer from high to extremely high water stress by 2050, threatening the health and livelihoods of millions.

Sustainable water management practices are essential to ensure that all urban residents have reliable access to this vital resource, such as investment in water infrastructure, promoting water conservation and reducing water demand, and prioritising water security and resilience in our urban planning.
