For thirty years World Water Day has celebrated water and raised awareness of the 2 billion people living without access to safe water.
Disfunction throughout the water cycle is undermining progress on all major global issues, from health to hunger, gender equality to jobs, education to industry, disasters to peace. This year’s World Water Day is about accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis that many parts of the world are experiencing.
Be the change you want to see in the world, the theme of this year’s global campaign to accelerate change, encourages all of us to take action to change the way we use and manage water. The UN 2023 Water Conference being held in New York from March 22 -24 will provide an opportunity to bring together world leaders to accelerate action for water. However, all of us can play a part in the solution. A list of possible actions can be found here
In the lead up to the UN Water conference, Water Justice Movements from around the world have combined to call on all those present at the conference to place fundamental issues at the centre of water policies.
