🟠 Global water crisis aggravated by gender inequalities according to new UN Report.
Despite decades of progress, inequalities continue to compromise global water security, disproportionally impacting women and girls, who despite of being the main collectors of water, continue to be excluded from water management and leadership roles.
This is the conclusion of the United Nations World Water Development Report, published by UNESCO on behalf of @UN_Water. The report reveals that women are responsible for collecting water in over 70% of unserved rural households.

Young people are driving sustainable development, building inclusive communities, forging peace, demanding a greener & more just future.
On #YouthDay we celebrate their determination, creativity & leadership.
My message to young people everywhere:
Your voice & ideas matter.
Earth’s water cycle is shifting in unprecedented ways due to human changes to agriculture systems and human-caused climate change.
The shifts could affect the accuracy of climate models, water management practices, and more.
On 24 October 1945, the @UN Charter set out the blueprint for a better future for all.
A world of fundamental freedoms, human rights and equality for all.
Today, this is more important than ever.
Sea levels aren’t rising the same everywhere. Over the last 30 years, the South-West Pacific has experienced faster increases than the global mean.
