World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is a recognised United Nations (UN) observance day that highlights the importance of fresh water.
Not only this, but it is also relevant to the following UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
- Goal 6 – Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
- Goal 14 – Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
