We are delighted to invite you to participate in the launch of the Water Crisis Clock – a new interactive tool that highlights trends related to water scarcity and the urgent need for action to combat this looming crisis.
Why this matters: 25 percent of the world’s population lacks sufficient access to clean drinking water. Beyond this known challenge, critical issues including water stress, ambient water quality, and water-related ecosystem health remain dangerously under-addressed.
Introducing the Water Crisis Clock: To address this information gap, the World Data Lab, in partnership with GIZ, has developed an interactive website that
🌍 Visualises past trends and future developments in water scarcity, biodiversity and water surface area change at a global level
🔎 Offers detailed country level insights on the regional dynamics of water scarcity and ecosystem pressures
🤝 Showcases projects of German development cooperation as case studies on how to address these issues
Join the launch event: The event leading up to World Water Day (March 22th) will feature key insights from the Water Crisis Clock, as well as a panel discussion with participants from BMZ, GIZ, World Data Lab, and partners on water scarcity, the importance of data-based evidence, and initiatives to address water scarcity.
- Date and Time: March 20th, 3pm CET
