The Bottom Line

The impact of climate change on food and water security extends beyond the agricultural sector. As UNESCO, in its 2016 report Water and Jobs makes clear, over 40 percent of the world’s total active work force are in jobs (e.g.: agriculture, mining, resource extraction) that are heavily dependent on access to adequate supplies of water. Another 1 billion jobs are classified as “moderately water-dependent”. Any contraction in water resources or reduction in access to water will ripple across the economies of many countries. ~ Global Futures Initiative
