The Economics of Water by David von Buseck

In 2022, The Global Commission on the Economics of Water was established to redefine the way we value and govern water, taking a stable hydrological cycle – a global common good – as a starting point. It is executed by an independent and diverse group of renowned policy makers and researchers in fields that bring novel perspectives to water economics.

This interactive Scrollytelling of the report invites you to explore some of the key findings of the Commission’s work and tells the story of the water crisis, why it matters to our economies and how we can reset our relationship with the hydrological cycle and lay the foundation for sustainable and equitable water futures.
