A joyous 30th Anniversary celebration for @UNUINWEH. Artist Babak Yaghooti's paintings inspired by @UNUINWEH's work to improve women' access to water and their agency used the power of art to move hearts and minds. Happy 30th!

[UN University-INWEH @UNUINWEH]

UNU-INWEH inaugurated the “Grace of Knight” exhibition by Toronto artist Babak Yaghooti on International Day of Families.

The powerful artworks captured the intersection of women, water, and health.

The ceremony featured remarks from MP Ali Ehsassi and MPP Stephanie Smyth.

@UNUINWEH report on mining of critical minerals raises serious environmental and equity concerns. To avoid past mistakes we need binding international rules to protect environment and human rights and to invest in less water-intensive technologies.Let's get it right this time.

[Kaveh Madani @KavehMadani]

‘Critical minerals are the oil of the 21st century.’

Chat GPT says that 10-15% of US's defence budget ($100-$150Billion) is spent on defence of NATO's area (large part of Europe, the US and Canada). The rest, 85-90% ($850-$900 Billion) is spent in the rest of the world or the US's global interests.

@grok. How much of US defence spending is spent to protect Europe, North America and the North Atlantic , instead of Africa, South and Central America, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific?

[Caustic Dave 🇺🇸 @CausticDave]

@micyoung75 @JessicaTarlov @grok Which country contributes the most towards NATO defense spending?

[UN University-INWEH @UNUINWEH]

On #WorldWaterDay , we are reminded that the global water crisis does not affect everyone equally.

Water for equality means safety, dignity & opportunity. When water flows close to home, women & girls can live, learn & lead without fear.

Where water flows, equality grows.

Listen to @TheCurrentCBC interview with @KavehMadani Dir of @UNUINWEH, the UN 'think tank on water' for a compelling summary of their recent report on #GlobalWaterBankruptcy. https://t.co/krL27Et4Hc. Listen here: https://t.co/wJZJWaRfaJ

@Ayaan The US does NOT spend $860B on NATO! That # includes spending in other US priorities/alliances/areas of interest e.g. Japan, Korea, Latin America, Africa, Israel and the Middle East, the Pacific rim. You should INSTEAD post the US's real spending on protecting the NATO countries

It's time to take stock and to take action. Water is not a luxury but a necessity for all. Please read this report and start advocating for a concerted global effort to protect our water. Our collective future depends on it. https://t.co/mpnSAjUnL7

BANKRUPT! Dr. @KavehMadani exposes the uncomfortable truth in recent @UNUINWEH #GlobalWaterBankruptcy report that the world has squandered its water resources. There is no return to what we had, but if we take immediate and decisive action there is a chance to save what we have.

[UN University-INWEH @UNUINWEH]

At the launch of the Global Water Bankruptcy report at the UN Headquarters press briefing in New York, Kaveh Madani, Director of UNU-INWEH, states that the old normal is gone and presents Global Water Bankruptcy as a diagnosis of persistent system failure.
