It's our most precious natural resource—clean, potable water necessary for good health and hygiene. And as the COVID pandemic rages on, that resource has never been more necessary or more endangered. Billions of people suffer from water scarcity around the world, and plastic pollution in major waterways threatens to exacerbate that crisis.

In partnership with the food and beverage company Suntory, GZERO Media is exploring how corporations and governments can work together to solve a key environmental issue before it's too late. Ian Bremmer talks to Suntory CEO Tak Niinami about the scope of the problem, how public and private partnerships can create solutions, and ways to encourage greater global cooperation.

This video is sponsored by Suntory.
