The theme of World Water Day 2024 is ‘Water for Peace’. When we cooperate on water, we create a positive ripple effect – fostering harmony, generating prosperity and building resilience to shared challenges. We must act upon the realisation that water is not only a resource to be used and competed over – it is a human right, intrinsic to every aspect of life. This World Water Day, we all need to unite around water and use water for peace, laying the foundations of a more stable and prosperous tomorrow.

This day is part of the campaign to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals Water and Sanitation for All by 2030. In doing so, the UN emphasizes the key role of the availability of clean water to fight poverty and ensure economic growth and environmental sustainability. Measures are needed to combat the global water crisis.
