World Water Day, on 22 March

The World Water Day 2020 campaign explains statements such as:

• We cannot afford to wait. Climate policy makers must put water at the heart of action plans.
• Water can help fight climate change. There are sustainable, affordable and scalable water and sanitation
  
  solutions.
• Everyone has a role to play. In our daily lives, there are surprisingly easy steps we can all take to address climate change.

World Water Day, on 22 March every year, is about focusing attention on the importance of water. This year’s theme, ‘Water and Climate Change’, explores how water and climate change are inextricably linked.

As the global population grows, so does the demand for water, which depletes natural resources and damages the environment in many places. Solutions include protecting carbon sinks such as oceans and wetlands, adopting climate-smart agricultural techniques, and increasing the safe reuse of wastewater.

Water is our most precious resource – we must use it more responsibly. We must balance all of society’s water needs while ensuring the poorest people don’t get left behind.

Hand hygiene is essential to containing the spread of COVID-19, as well as other infectious diseases. If you have access to soap and water.

 On this World Water Day, and any other day, remember to wash your hands regularly with water and soap or with an alcohol-based hand gel.

This #WorldWaterDay, let’s show our best hand hygiene moments to fight #COVID19.
