SUMMARY:World Water Day
DESCRIPTION:Key messages for World Water Day 2024\n\nWater can create peace or spark conflict. When water is scarce or polluted\, or when people struggle for access\, tensions can rise. By cooperating on water\, we can balance everyone’s water needs and help stabilize the world.\nProsperity and peace rely on water. As nations manage climate change\, mass migration and political unrest\, they must put water cooperation at the heart of their plans.\nWater can lead us out of crisis. We can foster harmony between communities and countries by uniting around the fair and sustainable use of water – from United Nations conventions at the international level\, to actions at the local level.\n\nWater for peace\nWater can create peace or spark conflict. \nWhen water is scarce or polluted\, or when people have unequal\, or no access\, tensions can rise between communities and countries. \nMore than 3 billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. Yet\, only 24 countries have cooperation agreements for all their shared water. \nAs climate change impacts increase\, and populations grow\, there is an urgent need\, within and between countries\, to unite around protecting and conserving our most precious resource. \nPublic health and prosperity\, food and energy systems\, economic productivity and environmental integrity all rely on a well-functioning and equitably managed water cycle. \n\nCreating a positive ripple effect\nThe theme of World Water Day 2024 is ‘Water for Peace’. \nWhen we cooperate on water\, we create a positive ripple effect – fostering harmony\, generating prosperity and building resilience to shared challenges. \nWe must act upon the realization that water is not only a resource to be used and competed over – it is a human right\, intrinsic to every aspect of life. \nThis World Water Day\, we all need to unite around water and use water for peace\, laying the foundations of a more stable and prosperous tomorrow. \n\n\n\n\nPlay your part!\n\nBe part of the global campaign on ‘Water for Peace’. We need everyone – from individuals and families to companies and governments – to do what they can to cooperate on water and pave the way for a more harmonious society. Download resources to get involved this World Water Day and find out more about the connection between water and peace. \n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.
