Better co-operation over water

Today, 2.2 billion people still live without access to safely managed drinking water and 3.5 billion lack access to safely managed sanitation. Tensions over water are exacerbating conflicts worldwide. To preserve peace, we must act to safeguard water resources and enhance water cooperation.

To achieve this goal, UNESCO mobilizes the wealth of its scientific expertise and implements water programmes. Get further insights by reading the 2024 UN World Water Development Report, published by UNESCO on behalf of UN-Water.

Our Vision

Since wars begin in the minds of men and women, it is in the minds of men and women that peace must be built.
