BOSTON, April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The world is facing an increasingly severe water crisis, exacerbated by climate change and the degradation of freshwater ecosystems, but this has yet to translate into meaningful action by businesses and governments. Approximately 1.4 million people die annually from preventable diseases linked to unsafe water, and roughly half of the world's population is experiencing severe water scarcity for at least part of the year. Globally, the demand for water is increasing nearly 1% per year and demand will continue to grow due to shifting patterns of consumption and population growth.

Key Points: 
  • According to a new study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and WWF , titled " Nature-Based Solutions to the Water Crisis ," evidence for the effectiveness and potential of nature-based solutions (NbS) to mitigate water security pressures is compelling.
  • "The recent UN Water Conference underscored the urgent need to find bold solutions to the global water crisis," said Torsten Kurth, BCG managing director and senior partner and coauthor of the study.
  • Technological innovation, supportive water governance mechanisms and economic policies, more efficient water operations, and traditional infrastructure and nature-based solutions all have their roles to play in improving how societies manage water.
  • "Drastically scaling up investment in healthy rivers, lakes, and wetlands is fundamental to ensuring water for all in an increasingly water stressed world.
