Collective action needed to address global water scarcity, says Al Mheiri – The National
Mariam Al Mheiri, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, Minister of State for Food Security, has said collective action needs to be taken to address the challenge of global water scarcity.
Addressing the UN 2023 Water Conference in New York, which coincides with World Water Day, Ms Al Mheiri said innovative solutions are needed to overcome the impact of climate change.
“The stress on our water systems is contributing in evermore concrete ways to food shortages, farmer-herder tensions and migration, ultimately undermining stability in the most fragile areas,” Ms Al Mheiri said.

Water's demand is greater than its supply.
By 2040, our demand for water will be 40% greater than what can be provided.
How do we solve the problem?
Stop subsidising the extraction and overuse of water.
Start managing water as a national & global common good. 💧

The city was submerged under 25.91 inches of rain in less than 24 hours says the National Weather Service. Fort Lauderdale is now, just 24 hours later, under a local state of emergency — and in #twitterfiction, under water. Methinks, it’s — global warming. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/rain-of-biblical-proportions-fort-lauderdale-residents-stranded-in-homes-cars/ar-AA19OqZf?li=BBnbcA1&ocid=a2hs

A few of my reflections from the #unwaterconference. "The solutions are all around us, but they need national-level support and global-scale collaboration to meet the scale of the #water crisis ahead." https://foresightcac.com/learn/un-2023-water-conference/
"National and Global Leader" 🤣 Gavin Newsom isn't capable of leading a horse to water to make him drink.
It’s rare for someone from the national stage to answer the call & show up for Arkansas Democrats, especially when we’re hurting.
Grateful for the opportunity tonight to meet not just a Democratic leader, but a national and global leader in @GavinNewsom.
Y’all come back soon.

The Global Water Canal System should have been initiated atleast 10 yrs ago.
If we start today, it can be completed before 2030.
