April 28, 2016

Unlike 'climate change', the term 'water justice' is not on everyone's lips just yet but individuals, groups and governments are becoming increasingly concerned about the problems of water waste, scarcity and especially, privatisation of water by corporates.

For more on this story, see the March 2016 edition of the GJOP bulletin on the Publications page.
