FRANCE: Scientific experts from around the world gathered in Stockholm this week for the World Water Week to discuss the issue of water related crises the planet is facing as a result of climate change.

Puerto Rico also has limited its citizens to only two water rations per week. Water is central to this week’s climate change discussions, and the UN Climate Change Conference is set to negotiate a global climate action agreement, to become effective in the next three months.
