Addressing Global Water Ownership and Scarcity: An Analysis of the MDGs

This lesson aims to explore the critical issues surrounding water ownership and scarcity, linking water resources to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Students will research how water relates to these goals, focusing on the increased vulnerability of women and girls to water shortages. The objectives include examining environmental and human factors affecting water scarcity, analyzing trends in water use, and discussing the implications for the future. By reviewing a water scarcity report, students will understand key patterns and identify factors influencing water accessibility.
