ISLAMABAD: A new UN report has warned that rapidly melting glaciers and snow have imperilled the global ecosystem and billions of people who rely on freshwater from these sources.
The World Water Development Report 2025, released by Unesco to mark ‘World Water Day’ on March 22, said 25 countries, home to one-quarter of the world’s population, face extremely high water stress every year.
About four billion people, or half of the world’s population, experience severe water scarcity for at least part of the year.
