Track issues that have already been reported

In December 1992, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution designating March 22nd as World Water Day. This day highlights the importance of freshwater and advocates for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. It is taking action to tackle the global water crisis of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. Each year has a theme focusing on various topics. This year's theme is “Be the Change”. The campaign focuses on how “the actions you take, no matter how small, will help solve the water crisis.”

The UN has Sustainable Development Goals. These 17 goals are a call to action by all countries to “promote prosperity while protecting the planet.” The goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, setting out a 15-year plan to achieve these goals. World Water Day focuses on Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. This goal promises that “everyone will have safely managed water and sanitation by 2030.” Everyone should have access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. It is a basic human need for health and well-being. However, due to rapid population growth, urbanization, and increasing water needs from agriculture, industry, and energy sectors, the demand for water is skyrocketing. Progress needs to quadruple to achieve the goal of universal access to drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene worldwide by 2030. Reaching this goal will save 829,000 people annually; this is the number of people who die from diseases attributed to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene practices.

The best way for individuals to help put an end to the water crisis is by taking individual actions, no matter how small. What does that look like?
