Drinking water is essential to every human life – and the climate crisis threatens this critical resource in a number of ways. Increasing global temperatures, prolonged droughts, extreme hurricanes and rain, sea level rise, and flooding all impact that planet’s natural water cycle and ultimately reduce the quality, quantity, and safety of our planet’s already limited supply of drinking water.
This is just one of many reasons why holding governments accountable for contributing to and accelerating the climate crisis through their actions subsidizing, permitting, and supporting fossil fuel development is so important.
