Issue 40 of Renewable Matter is dedicated to the most precious of resources, the most important of 'materials'. Water is at the heart of any thought on sustainable development: a source of life, energy, and biodiversity, it is both a victim and weapon of climate change. This is why its sustainable, circular, and equitable management will be increasingly fundamental for the future of the Planet.
