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. By Alexander Pandian, WASH Programmes Senior Advisor, World Vision East Asia
