By 2021, 2.2 billion people worldwide will not have access to water for this simple act, according to the new United Nations Water Development Report. On the occasion of World Water Day, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) organised a conference on behalf of UN-Water. The aim of this year’s World Water Day campaign was therefore to capture as many different perspectives as possible,” he says.

In Africa, where this event has a particular resonance because of the challenge of access to drinking water, the African Water Association (AfWA) has organised a communication campaign around valuing water.
