The conference generated 689 voluntary commitments that will contribute to the Water Action Agenda. Who will track progress & ensure accountability? And who will ensure that human rights to water & sanitation will not continue to be violated on a daily basis? #unwaterconference #WaterAction

Key takeaways from final plenary: UN should/will appoint a special water envoy; water is global public good & key for health, climate, food etc.. Recommendation to have more regular UN meetings on water #UNWaterConference #WaterAction

Maybe we should focus more of the messaging on "when there's no viable water source, where do you think two billion people are going to go?"

Maybe the "civilised north" will act quicker if presented with the hard reality of a mass exodus from countries our selfish exploitation has destroyed.

Though I'm not really optimistic about that, as most are stockpiling armaments to repel refugees. 😡

Water = climate.
If we fail to limit warming to 1.5° degrees, an increase to 2° will DOUBLE the population vulnerable to water scarcity.

𝟳𝟬% of the 🌍 is covered by water.

But less than 𝟭% is available for drinking, sanitation and food needs.

We need to take care of the water we have.

So, what is the 🇪🇺 doing for global #WaterAction?

No access to safe 💧 water is more than just an inconvenience

It could become a reality for half of the 🌍 population by 2030

The @UN_Water Conference, starting this #WorldWaterDay, is our chance to turn this around

This is our 🇪🇺 vision: https://europa.eu/!cDGDVG

Anthropogenic pressures and #climatechange are altering #water flows worldwide. Better understanding, new economic thinking and an international governance framework are needed to stave off catastrophe.
