Over 5bn people to face water shortage by 2050 – UN forecast
The UN forecasts that a half of population of the planet or more than 5.5bn people will suffer from water shortage by 2050. Amid these conditions, the issue of international cooperation on sustainable water resources management and conservation of this vital resource for future generations gains a critical importance," Zarema Shaukenova said at the Central Asian Expert Forum in Nur-Sultan.
In this regard, Kazakhstan is ready to exert every effort to unite the potential of all the regional countries in order to find an effective and strategically beneficial solution for all the stakeholders," the speaker said.
The restoration of the dialogue within the V Caspian Summit of the heads of the IFSA [International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea] founding countries held after more than 9 years of break, also make us optimistic over further prospects of interaction. The restoration and reconstruction of water infrastructure, provision of drinking water to the population, settlement of social problems and promotion of joint projects for improving the ecological situation in the Aral Sea region – this is the challenge which the government and the region should solve jointly," she reminded.
