Abstract:
With contributions from leading water experts around the world, this book addresses the role water must play in achieving global security through increased political and environmental stability. The authors argue that water can be used to support development as a means to increasing security at the individual level, and the authors also explore the legal dimensions surrounding the declaration by the United Nations of water and sanitation as a human right. Reactions from world leaders underline the need for long-term political commitment and ownership to addressing the water crisis and identify water as a key factor for securing peace and human well-being in the long term.
