Water
is the one permanent asset in the world.
As long as there is life on this planet it
will be needed.
Global freshwater demand will outstrip supply by 40% by 2030
Water crisis threatens $58 trillion in economic value, food security and sustainability
The energy transition can't happen without water security
According to WoodMcKenzie, global GDP is projected to reach $170 trillion by 2050. A World Bank report on Climate Change and Water suggests that investing in global water security mitigates the potential loss of up to 6% or $10.2 trillion of global GDP per year. There are two key aspects around financing water security for the future. By far the largest amount is what must be financed by governments and municipalities to support freshwater extraction, delivery and sanitation. The OECD estimates investment needed until 2030 to achieve SDG 6 is approximately $1.7 trillion, 3 times the current spend. Moreover, this represents only a fraction of the water investment agenda: projections of global financing needs for water infrastructure range from $6.7 trillion by 2030 to $22.6 trillion by 2050 and these figures do not cover the development of freshwater resources for irrigation or energy (they are wrapped into the clean energy investment estimates.) Further delayed action will lead to catastrophic human, environmental and economic losses on a scale the world has not seen before.
The Impact
Established 2011 in Delaware, USA by Thomas Deng Mahmoud Schumann, Thomas Schumann Capital® (TSC) has emerged as a leading advocate for and investor in global water security. Operating at the nexus of freshwater and capital TSC recognizes the critical importance of water as a fundamental human right and indispensable resource, by sponsoring and developing innovative investment strategies and solutions to safeguard freshwater supplies for future generations.
TSC's Project Greenland stewards 140 trillion liters super premium freshwater for water, food, energy security. For capital markets TSC created the world's first financial instruments for global water security:
TSC Global Water Security Index®, TSC Global Water Security Fund, activist public and private equity fund vehicles to drive water security, water stewardship and sustainability being the foundation of Agenda 2030, an action plan for people, planet and prosperity, the Sustainable Development Goals.
As the global water and climate challenges continue to escalate, Thomas Schumann Capital's bold vision and unwavering commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 6 "Access to Clean Water for All" pave the way towards a more water-secure, sustainable and equitable future for 8 billion stakeholders.
