Important message for World Water Day 2020 • What we mean when we say: “We cannot afford to wait. Should climate policymakers put water at the center of plans and actions? • What do we mean when we say: ‘Water can help combat the effects of climate change. Are there sustainable, affordable and scalable water and sanitation solutions? As the world's population grows, so does the need for water, depleting natural resources and damaging the environment in many places. Solutions include protecting carbon sinks such as oceans and wetlands, adopting sustainable agricultural practices, and increasing the safe reuse of wastewater. Water is our most valuable resource – we must use it more responsibly. We must balance all of society's water needs while ensuring that the poorest people are not left behind. • What do we mean when we say, “Everyone has a role?” It's amazing how much water action anyone, anywhere can take to address climate change."
