Oxfam: Increasing investment in water security

As shown in a new Oxfam report, climate change will lead to water shortages in many countries in the Global South and thus to food insecurity, more diseases and poverty. The organization studied 20 „climate hotspots“ in West Africa, East and Central Africa, the Middle East and Asia and analyzed how the scenario of a 2.7-degree warming would affect the water balance of these countries.
