Climate Change Threatens Global Water Security
Water Scarcity and Rising Sea Levels
Climate change poses a significant threat to global water security. Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns are leading to more frequent and intense droughts in some regions, while increasing rainfall in others. These changes are disrupting water availability and quality, putting a strain on water resources and ecosystems.
Coastal Flooding and Salinization
Rising sea levels are also a major concern. As oceans expand and glaciers melt, coastal areas face increased flooding and salinization of freshwater sources. This can lead to the loss of drinking water, agricultural land, and other critical resources.
