Worldwide, numerous initiatives are committed to ensuring that water does not become a commodity, but remains freely accessible common property for all.
There are organizations that resist the privatization of water and are active in countries such as Canada, India, and South Africa. Similarly, there are international trade union federations that advocate for public water supply, fair working conditions, and democratic control.
Other groups focus on resistance against fracking, industrial agriculture, and the commercialization of drinking water in North America. Political think tanks also make a contribution by analyzing global privatization trends in the water sector and presenting alternatives for public interest-oriented management.
At the European level, a citizens' initiative has achieved that access to water was debated for the first time as a human right at EU level, while networks of public water utilities from across Europe are committed to transparency and against outsourcing to private actors.
Finally, global platforms work to prevent corruption and abuse of power in international water management and promote just structures.
