This essay discusses the growing issue of water scarcity globally and its effects. Rising demand for water due to population growth, economic development, and changing diets is exacerbating water scarcity. Agriculture, industry, and energy production are the largest users of water. Climate change is projected to further reduce water availability in some areas through changing precipitation patterns and more extreme weather events. By 2050, around four billion people could live in water scarce areas. Water scarcity will have severe consequences, including lack of access to drinking water, increased spread of diseases, impacts on global food prices and economic growth, and increased risk of conflict and migration. Urgent action is needed to address this issue.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
