Book The Battle for Water
The Diplomatic Council has published the book “Battle for water”. Meticulous and months-long researches have been carried out to finalize this book. It includes all vital information about our precious asset water, the global conflicts and wars over water, suggestions on how to mitigate or even end these conflicts and wars, advice and tips how to safe water, etc.
The author of this book is touring in Germany to present this book and give lectures on this topic. The focus of this book: in earlier times, wars have been fought over oil but in future, wars will be fought over water because within the next years/decades water will be an even more scarce commodity due to the climate change. It takes joint forces on a global scale in order to prevent these upcoming wars. Water scarcity is not only responsible for wars between states and continents but it also takes away the basis of life for humans and animals, it causes hunger and leads to displacements and streams of refugees.
