Water is a human right — and a common development denominator to shape a better future. But water is in deep trouble. (…) We’ve broken the water cycle, destroyed ecosystems and contaminated groundwater. Nearly three out of four natural disasters are linked to water. One in four people lives without safely managed water services or clean drinking water. And over 1.7 billion people lack basic sanitation”, denounced António Guterres.

Ahead of the conference, the US ambassador at the UN announced that the United States had pledged $49 billion towards water security at home and around the world.

“A 2022 study by the University of California, Los Angeles, estimated that almost half of the world’s population will suffer severe water stress by 2030. This is a crisis, one that affects people around the globe and one that demands concrete action. That’s why I am proud to announce that the United States is committing $49 billion toward equitable, climate resilient water and sanitation investments at home and around the globe. That significant number should demonstrate just how seriously we take water security”, announced Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
