The United Nations reports that 2 billion people do not have Safe Drinking water and that thisproblem is only going to get worse in the coming years due to climate change. The conference being held in New York this week is aimed at addressing the water crisis. The goal is to provide everyone on Earth with access to clean drinking water and sanitation, and the cost of doing so is estimated to be between $600 billion and $1 trillion each year. Climate change is exacerbating the problem by making it harder to access water in areas that are already water scarce.
