Water security in East Asia: Climate change is deepening the inequality divide
On World Water Day 2026, East Asia stands at a critical crossroads. Climate change is transforming water, once a foundation of economic growth and social stability, into one of the region’s sharpest drivers of inequality. And this inequality is not evenly felt. It falls hardest on women and girls, children, persons with disabilities, and rural and marginalised communities whose access to safe water was already fragile.

Policy Overview | Famine Prevention & Food Security
Famine is not a natural disaster and can be prevented. Across the world’s hunger hotspots, early warnings are clear, yet governments continue to act too late – or not at all. Conflict, blockades, and the denial of humanitarian access, not food scarcity, are driving a deepening hunger crisis, with children suffering first and longest. As aid budgets are cut, the gap between need and response is widening fast. This is a false economy: preventing famine costs far less than responding once lives are already lost. World Vision warns famine can be predicted and prevented – but only if leaders act early, protect civilians, and put children at the centre of hunger prevention.
