Sustainable Development Goal #SDG6 (Water and sanitation for all by 2030) has seen slow progress. We as a community need to work harder than ever to #acceleratechange and ensure the fundamental human right to water is denied to none.This #WorldWaterDay, the @unitednations #2023WaterConference, convened after 50 years, will launch the #WaterActionAgenda which will include commitments from people worldwide.Today, let's focus on the #UN's #ActionList and reflect on what we can do in our personal and professional capacities to bridge this gap: let's safeguard water from pollution and wastage, bring about gender-equitable water practices (sharing water-fetching activities between men and women, boys and girls), openly communicate about sanitation and menstruation, and write to elected representatives for better budgets and policies.Let us #unitearoundwater.#UNWaterConference #WASH@tnussp

Access to clean, efficient and safe water and sanitation is critical to ensure continued progress across all major global issues, from health to hunger, gender equality to jobs, education to industry, and disasters to peace.Water is a critical resource for all people and systems, everywhere.Today is a reminder to accelerate change to solve the water and sanitation crisis, because water affects all lives and systems.
