World Water Day 2024:
Every year, March 22 is observed as World Water Day to raise awareness about the global water crisis and the importance of water.
- The day aims to inspire people to sustainably manage freshwater resources, address water-related issues and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6: Water and Sanitation for All by 2030.
- The theme for this year is ‘Water for prosperity and peace’.
- The 2024 edition of the UN’s flagship World Water Development Report (WWDR) report will explore this theme.
- The theme changes every year, but the central focus remains on topics relevant to clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), which is in line with the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 6.
