On 5 February 2025, the OPEC Fund Quarterly published an article by Dr. Sanae Okamoto (Senior Researcher, UNU-MERIT), discussing the challenges of water security, climate resilience, and humanitarian crises.
The piece highlights how lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation remains a major global challenge, affecting billions of people. Okamoto explores how extreme weather events—floods, droughts, and storms—exacerbate vulnerabilities, particularly for women and marginalized communities.
The full article is available on OPEC Fund’s website and in its February 2025 edition (online and print).
