WORLD WATER DAY 2016
22 March 2016
WORLD WATER DAY IS A DAY OF INTERNATIONAL OBSERVANCE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WATER RELATED ISSUES, BE INSPIRED TO TELL OTHERS AND TAKE ACTION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
World Water Day dates back to the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development where an international observance for water was recommended. The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day. It has been held annually since then.
Each year, UN-Water - the entity that coordinates the UN’s work on water and sanitation - sets a theme for World Water Day corresponding to a current or future challenge.
This year World Water Day invites us to explore the theme: “Water and Jobs”, learn more here:
