In order to urge a coordinated worldwide response to the pressing problem of global water scarcity, the UAE has released a thorough discussion paper titled “Ripple Effect Water Scarcity: The Hidden Threat to Global Security and Prosperity.” The causes, effects, and potential remedies for the fast-deteriorating problem of water scarcity are all examined in this essay.
According to the research, global water shortages might cause a number of negative effects, including armed conflict, food insecurity, economic underdevelopment, humanitarian crises, and involuntary migration. The document also describes the UAE’s ambitions to start a nonprofit effort to hasten the creation and implementation of water scarcity solutions. In order to increase the sustainability of its use of water, the UAE will also pursue internal policy measures. These will include stepping up national water conservation efforts and hastening the execution of the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036.
The study aims to increase research and development, accelerate innovation, and facilitate the quick adoption of promising new technologies to address water scarcity in sustainable and affordable ways. It also aims to harness the power of academic institutions, governmental organizations, and water-related industries.
