Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #desalination
Despite being vital to health, security, and economic prosperity, water is often taken for granted. As supplies come under growing strain, water-related considerations will shape economic policy and political decision-making, as well as firms’ investment decisions, risk assessments, and corporate strategies.
While the rest of the world is mainly concerned about the energy disruptions caused by the Iran war, the Gulf countries are more anxious about the Islamic Republic’s threats to their desalination facilities. If the US attempts to seize Kharg Island, it could spell disaster for the region's "saltwater kingdoms."
Building tensions between Singapore and Malaysia over its water agreement are setting the two on a collision course over scarcity and sustainability.
Humanity’s consumption of fresh water has long exceeded the rate of replenishment. Now, researchers are warning that this essential natural resource is running out. If we are to reverse this trend, investing in natural solutions is our best hope.
