🚽We’ll always need the toilet
Whatever the future holds, we’ll always rely on sanitation to protect us from diseases.
But today, 3.4 billion people still don’t have a safe toilet.
👉See how we can change that: www.worldtoiletday.org #WorldToiletDay

🌧️The majority of the world’s food — 66% of all crop production — still comes from rainfed agriculture.

Yet, as climate change & deforestation alter local precipitation patterns, farmers will find it increasingly difficult to grow rainfed crops. Get the data: go.wri.org/water-risks #WorldWaterDay

The image shows an illustration of a person fishing from a wooden boat in a blue canal surrounded by green lily pads and pink flowers. The text reads: “Kochi, India – Cleaning up canals across the city means citizens can swim and fish in the water again.” The style is bright and flat-design.

In Kochi, India, waterways are facing challenges from urban encroachment, pollution, and extreme weather events.

In response, a new #GenerationRestoration project is helping to revive the city’s historic waterways and strengthen resilience: www.unep.org/news-and-sto... #WorldWaterDay

Water is life💧💓 - essential for growing food, staying hydrated, and sustaining our economies.

Yet, nearly two-thirds of Europe’s waters are unhealthy!🤯

The EU cannot look away. It must step up efforts to tackle water pollution - an issue that affects millions across Europe!

Without biodiversity, there would be no food.

Biodiversity depends on how we manage our agrifood systems and take care of nature.

Our future depends on biodiversity!

From Tents to Classrooms in Afghanistan UNICEF is constructing 165 schools for girls and boys across Afghanistan, complete with solar panel systems, latrine blocks and drilled water wells.

"Without school washrooms I was always distracted in class, worrying about where I could go when I needed to," says Shukria, a 5th grader in #Afghanistan.

New 🚰 facilities in 165 new schools across the country are transforming the learning experience for thousands of girls like her. #WorldWaterDay

As the planet gets hotter, our glaciers are disappearing—fast. ❄️
This retreat is making the water cycle more extreme and unpredictable, threatening ecosystems, communities, and future water security.

Glacier preservation is climate action.

Climate change is making water more scarce, more unpredictable, more polluted or all three.

We must adapt water management so that people and ecosystems can survive and thrive in a changing world.
