UN calls water top priority: Yahoo
DAVOS, Switzerland - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the world on Thursday to put the looming crisis over water shortages at the top of the global agenda this year and take action to prevent conflicts over scarce supplies.
Ban said he will invite world leaders to "a critical high-level meeting" in September to focus on meeting U.N. development goals — including cutting by half the number of people without access to safe drinking water by 2015 — particularly in Africa.
Ban told the VIP audience that he spent 2007 "banging my drum on climate change," an issue the Forum also had as one of its main themes last year. He welcomed the focus on water this year saying the session should be named: "Water is running out."
"Water is today's issue," said Andrew Liveris, chairman and CEO of Dow Chemical Co., the world's second largest chemical company. "It is the oil of this century, not a question." Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chairman and CEO of
Nestle SA, the world's biggest food and drink company, said "time is still on our side but time is running out, just like water is running out."
"Water is running out" according to U.N. general secretary Ban Ki-moon. Another looming global crisis. What is different here though is that the "solution" may not be very beneficial to any except for those forwarding the global agenda, i.e. he who controls the water, controls the planet. You will hear more and more of this so-called 'water crisis' as the now more openly-than-ever-push for 'global oneness' continues to increase. Be aware when you hear these things that there are those with an agenda. The agenda is global control and the reality is that it is 'anti-christian'. Continue to learn, connecting the dots. see also: agenda
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof: Which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly. (Job. 36:27-28)
