Water connects us all through invisible atmospheric moisture that travels across continents. Deforestation in the Amazon reduces rainfall as far as the Congo Basin. We need a new lens that treats the hydrological cycle as a global common good requiring collective action. As.

The costs of not acting on the water crisis far exceed the costs of action. High-income countries may see GDP shrink by 8% by 2050, while low-income countries—many in Africa—could face losses of 10-15%. Water is not a soft issue—it's hard economics, security and development.
