The Global Commission on the Economics of Water seeks to redefine water as a critical planetary resource by linking the hydrological cycle to climate change, biodiversity loss, and the SDGs. The report highlights changes in the cycle, their impacts, and opportunities for systemic action, drawing inspiration from the Stern and Dasgupta Reviews to emphasize sustainable water management as essential for global well-being.
