Po udaniu się Klausa Schwaba na emeryturę, nowym tymczasowym przewodniczącym WEF-u zostaje Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, były CEO koncernu Nestle, znanego ze swoich antyludzkich praktyk w krajach 3-go świata.
Peter zasłynął swoją wypowiedzią z 2005 roku, o tym, że koncepcja wolnego dostępu do wody dla każdego człowieka jest "ekstremalna", a woda powinna być traktowana jak każdy inny artykuł spożywczy.
"Water is, of course, the most important raw material we have today in the world. It's a question of whether we should privatize the normal water supply for the population. And there are two different opinions on the matter. The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water. That's an extreme solution. The other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any other foodstuff it should have a market value. Personally, I believe it's better to give a foodstuff a value so that we're all aware it has its price, and then that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this water, and there are many different possibilities there."
W 2013 sprostował swoją, budzącą ogromne kontrowersje, wypowiedź, że nie miał na myśli ograniczania dostępu do wody pitnej, a jedynie jej marnotrawienia, robiąc całkiem niezły fikołek.
"The water you need for survival is a human right, and must be made available to everyone, wherever they are, even if they cannot afford to pay for it. However I do also believe that water has a value. People using the water piped into their home to irrigate their lawn, or wash their car, should bear the cost of the infrastructure needed to supply it."
