In her bestselling books Blue Gold and Blue Covenant,
world-renowned water activist Maude Barlow exposed the battle for
ownership of our dwindling water supply and the emergence of an
international, grassroots-led movement to reclaim water as a public
good. Since then, the United Nations has recognized access to water
as a basic human right-but there is still much work to be done to
stem this growing crisis. In this major new book, Barlow draws on
her extensive experience and insight to lay out a set of key
principles that show the way forward to what she calls a
"water-secure and water-just world." Not only does she reveal the
powerful players even now impeding the recognition of the human
right to water, she argues that water must not become a commodity
to be bought and sold on the open market. Focusing on solutions,
she includes stories of struggle and resistance from marginalized
communities, as well as government policies that work for both
people and the planet. At a time when climate change has moved to
the top of the national agenda and when the stage is being set for
unprecedented drought, mass starvation, and the migration of
millions of refugees in search of water, Blue Future is an urgent
call to preserve our most valuable resource for generations to
come.
