Water security in East Asia: Climate change is deepening the inequality divide
On World Water Day 2026, East Asia stands at a critical crossroads.

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.
