U.N. Chief Says Humanity’s Survival Depends On ‘Charting New Course’ To Control One Vital Resource

According to U. N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the United Nations‘ efforts to find new ways to manage the country’s drinking offer are essential to the survival of humanity.

Guterres warned nations about water shortages and hygiene at a meeting on global drinking resources earlier this week and urged” a new system” of actions.

“All of humanity’s hopes for the future depend, in some way, on charting a new course to sustainably manage and conserve water,” Guterres said in his final remarks for the conference on Friday, according to the Associated Press. The U.N. chief added that water “needs to be at the center of the global political agenda.”

Prior to the conference, Guterres remarked that this year’s gathering, which was hosted by Tajikistan and the Netherlands, “must result in a bold Water Action Agenda that gives our world’s lifeblood the commitment it deserves.”

By 2030, the U.N. wants everyone to have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, which it refers to as” SDG6.” The U.N. attributes the steam shortages experienced by poorer nations to climate change and inadequate water investment.

To push for more control of the world’s water systems, SDG6 outlines six targets for the world to hit by 2030, the last of which seeks to “expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programs, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies.” 

A video on the U.N.’s 2023 Water Conference website says that “water can be the driver for a green economy, water is essential for food security, water is fundamental to climate resilience, and water can be the dealmaker for peace.” 

The game continues,” Humanity’s demand for water is increasing.” ” Abuse, waste, and climate change are putting more pressure on water sources.” To gain SDG6 by 2030, the world must perform 4 times faster on average. More can and must be done. For drinking, we had band together.
