Water scarcity: The global crisis facing countries, companies, and communities
By 2025, two-thirds of the global population will face water shortages and two-thirds of companies will face substantial water risks along the value chain. To make matters worse, current policy efforts are either inadequate or insufficient. Fixing the crisis will require greater collaboration between public- and private-sector actors. We will discuss what it looks like practically across regions and sectors.
Franck analyses political risk across a range of sustainability issues, with a focus on biodiversity policy, water resources, and environmental litigation. Prior to joining Eurasia Group, Franck held various energy and climate-related positions at the World Bank Group. He has also done research and consultancy work on carbon risk management for the European Investment Bank, on clean and domestic energy solutions for the United Nations Capital Development Fund, on North American energy policy for the Centre on Global Energy Policy, and on environmental crimes in sub-Saharan Africa for the Earth Institute. Franck holds three bachelor’s degrees and four master’s degrees.
