3.2 BILLION people will have a shortage of drinking water by 2050: Study warns that climate change will cause supplies to decrease by 60% - How to achieve sustainable food production for increased profit and well-being

According to a new UN report, 3.2 billion will face water shortage by 2050
Glacier mass is at an all-time high, up to 14 inches a year in some areas
Glacier runoff, which provides drinking water, will peak by century’s end
Other areas, including Rwanda and Vietnam, will face increased flooding

**According to a new UN report, because of climate change, the number of people living in places with insufficient water will go from 1.9 billion to 3.2 billion by 2050**

While global warming has led to rising tides, it’s also threatening the water supply of 3.2 billion people around the world, according to a new UN report.

Runoff from glaciers provides drinking water for tens of millions of people, but record loss of glacier mass is leading to increased water scarcity.

Glacier runoff is expected to max out globally by the end of the century and then decline.

According to the report, the number of people living in places with insufficient water will shoot up almost 60 percent in the next 30 years.
