World Water day - 22nd March
The theme for United Nations Water's World Water day in 2024 is 'water for peace' which highlights how scarcity of clean unpolluted water can create tensions between communities and nations. In 2015, when setting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the world promised that everyone would have safely managed water and sanitation by 2030. However, we are not on track to achieve this and governments cannot solve this problem on their own. Water affects everyone, so everyone needs to take action.
These resources highlight the importance of clean water for sustaining human life. More details about the day can be found on the World Water day website.
