It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.
Only if we all commit to water action taking nature & people into account #UN2023WaterConference can create a watershed moment for the 🌍.
During today’s UN High Level Panel at #WWWeek our Special Envoy for Int. Water Affairs @HenkOvink called for uniting the world for water.

Water is a right, not a privilege.
Yet, billions of people lack access to safe drinking water & sanitation - and climate change is only making things worse.
We must wake up to this looming water crisis & ensure water for all. #WorldWaterWeek
📢 BREAKING!
In a historic decision, the @UN General Assembly just adopted the resolution to universally recognize the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll!
This signals what we hope will be the beginning of a new era in rights-based environmental policy.
