Policy Weekly WATER WARS IN NIGERIA by Nextier SPD January 21, 2020 Published by Nextier SPD January 21, 2020 43 The next global war could be fought over water. By 2040, about 5 billion people will live in parts of the world with limited access to water and this could be the trigger for the next global conflagration. The 2012 Global Water security report estimates that global demand for freshwater resources will exceed availability by 2040. The impact of the water insecurity will be far-retching to include low productivity, unhygienic conditions, internal displacement of populations, rising conflicts, and potentially, war. This edition of Nextier SPD Policy Weekly presents a review of the threat of water insecurity in Nigeria and proffers policy recommendations. 0 comments 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail Nextier SPD previous post BAYELSA: CAGING THE MILITANTS next post SECESSION: ENGAGE AND DEFUSE – Part 1 You may also like The Urgency of Peacebuilding in the South East...
