World water day 2023
💧 World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, focuses on the importance of freshwater. It celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis. A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
💧 Right now, we are seriously off-track to meet SDG 6. Billions of people and countless schools, businesses, healthcare centres, farms and factories don’t have the safe water and toilets they need. To accelerate change, we need more action. Learn about how through stories from around the world. You can also take action by following the steps of The Lazy Person's Guide to Saving the World or get some inspiration from the UN's Act Now site.
💧 The more people talk about these global issues, the more action will be taken - on personal and on governmental level as well. This year we decided to contribute to the campaign with these posters you are free (and encouraged) to share on social media. Give people the chance to talk about the importance of freshwater.

This page is not supported by any organizations. We at Grasshopper Geography genuinely believe that raising awareness about the global water crisis is critical, and experience shows that our maps can help achieve that. The sole purpose behind creating these posters was to help spread the word about World Water Day, so more people can be part of the change.
