This is Scott Amyx with today’s Climate Change Flash Briefing.
Today is World Water Day that advocates for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. UN Sustainable Development Goal number 6 states clean water for all by 2030. Clean water is a human right that’s essential for health, safety, sustainable development and society. The UN recognizes that billions of people around the world do not have clean, safe water and tries to educate the public about how to solve the water crisis by addressing the reasons why so many people are left behind. This year’s theme is “Leaving no one behind” and encourages global citizens to consider marginalized groups that are often overlooked and discriminated against when they try to access safe water.
Find out how you can get involved by visiting UN Water.
