Code Blue - Water Security Conflicts and Solutions
We are committed to protecting our planet and resources. As the world heats up with climate change, the increasing lack of fresh water is causing conflicts around the globe that are affecting our energy and food supply. But there are inspiring stories — real solutions already making a difference.
Our mission is to film short videos and a documentary on water security as it relates to water, food and energy. By creating empathy through storytelling, we aim to inspire community action, the media, and lawmakers to protect our planet and promote water security.
Most people are unaware that 40 out of 50 U.S. states expect water shortages in 10 years, according to the Government Accountability Office. At the same time, Saudi Arabia is currently buying up U.S. water rights. Internationally, the United Nations has identified 37 acute conflicts in the last 50 years caused by trans-boundary water rights. Additionally, U.S. intelligence agencies recently reported that water is a major source of instability and potential conflict.
