Water scarcity is currently causing significant business disruptions across all sectors and geographies, a trend expected to worsen due to climate change and demographic shifts. The document emphasizes that while governments are essential for mitigation and adaptation, the private sector must also contribute through individual company actions and public-private partnerships. Specifically, CEOs are urged to lead holistic water management efforts across their supply chains and networks.
