Practice Paper in Brief 19
Using an ensemble of climate models and socioeconomic scenarios, WRI scored and ranked future water stress—a measure of competition and depletion of surface water—in 167 countries by 2020, 2030, and 2040. We found that 33 countries face extremely high water stress in 2040 (see the full list).

This means that businesses, farms, and communities in these countries in particular may be more vulnerable to scarcity than they are today.
