FN advarer om vandkollaps der truer madforsyningen

Dansk

En ny FN-rapport fastslår at menneskeheden har forårsaget permanent skade på planetens vandssystemer. Grundvandsreservoarer tømmes og søer tørrer ud, hvilket truer madforsyningen for milliarder af mennesker. Sverige vil også rammes af krisen.

Ifølge en ny FN-rapport har menneskeheden forårsaget irreversibel skade på jordens vandssystemer. Rapporten understreger at det ikke længere er en midlertidig vandkrise, da grundvandsreservoarer tømmes og søer tørrer ud i accelererende tempo. Dette truer madforsyningen for milliarder af mennesker verden over med direkte konsekvenser for importafhængige lande som Sverige. DNs Peter Alestig beskriver i en analyse hvordan vi nu er trådt ind i en æra med global vandkrise. Byer synker i havet på grund af overudnyttelse af grundvand, og militære eksperter advarer om en bølge af konflikter over vandressourcer. Spændinger stiger i skyggen af begivenhederne i Venezuela og Grønland, og i værste fald kan det føre til krige om vand. Jagten på vand får stadig alvorligere konsekvenser, og Sverige vil også mærke virkningerne gennem forstyrret global handel og højere madpriser. Rapporten og analysen blev offentliggjort den 20. januar 2026 og fremhæver behovet for øjeblikkelige tiltag for at beskytte vandssystemerne.
