Two billion people worldwide lack access to safe water. But solutions are difficult to find when the causes are not clearly identified. In a rapid overview of global water insecurity, one of the world's leading experts on water politics discusses the massive impact of climate change; the insatiable water demands of industry and agriculture; and the widespread lack of government investment in infrastructure.
Filippo Menga specifically focuses on the high-profile figures of global development - celebrities, CEOs, and sustainability directors - who have become some of the most outspoken voices on water issues while providing few real solutions. Thirst demonstrates that if humanity wants to break the deadlock preventing access to clean water, it must rethink both its trust in the market and its relationship with nature.
