In the midst of a global water crisis, where millions lack access to clean and affordable water, a disturbing trend has emerged: the commodification and privatization of water resources. Investment banks and wealthy individuals are profiting from water scarcity by investing in water rights, infrastructure, and bottled water companies. This has led to increased water prices, displacing communities from their traditional water sources and exacerbating the water crisis for the world's most vulnerable populations. Urgent action is needed to address this injustice, including regulations to prevent water hoarding and speculation, investments in sustainable water management practices, and policies that prioritize the human right to water over private profit.
