Una idea para tus historias: La escasez de agua

The document outlines how climate change acts as a 'threat multiplier' for water scarcity, noting that nearly two-thirds of the global population faces severe water shortages at least one month per year. It highlights that freshwater demand is projected to exceed supply by 40% by 2030, exacerbated by agricultural use and outdated infrastructure. The guide suggests reporting on solutions such as wastewater reuse, sustainable agriculture, and transboundary cooperation, while providing specific examples of water crises in the United States, Mexico, and South Africa.

• Climate change exacerbates global water scarcity through more frequent droughts, higher temperatures creating a 'thirstier atmosphere', erratic precipitation, and saltwater contamination of drinking water caused by rising sea levels.
• Nearly two-thirds of the world's population experiences severe water scarcity for at least one month annually, and freshwater demand is expected to exceed global supply by 40% by 2030.
• Agriculture is a primary driver of the crisis, utilizing more than two-thirds of the planet's freshwater.
• Water scarcity is linked to increasing global conflict; the number of water-related conflicts rose from 27 in 2013 to 71 in 2017, with potential future tensions predicted between India and Pakistan.
