Water for peace<\/h2>\n

Water can create peace or spark conflict.<\/p>\n

When water is scarce or polluted, or when people have unequal, or no access, tensions can rise between communities and countries.<\/p>\n

More than 3 billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. Yet, only 24 countries have cooperation agreements for all their shared water.<\/p>\n

As 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.<\/p>\n

Public health and prosperity, food and energy systems, economic productivity and environmental integrity all rely on a well-functioning and equitably managed water cycle.<\/p>\n

Creating a positive ripple effect<\/h3>\n

The theme of World Water Day 2024 is \u2018Water for Peace\u2019.<\/p>\n

When we cooperate on water, we create a positive ripple effect \u2013 fostering harmony, generating prosperity and building resilience to shared challenges.<\/p>\n

We must act upon the realization that water is not only a resource to be used and competed over \u2013 it is a human right, intrinsic to every aspect of life.<\/p>\n

This 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.<\/p>\n
