CLIMATE change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and we feel its effects the most through our relationship with water.

Rising temperatures and changing weather patterns continue to disrupt the water cycle around the world, impacting societies, ecosystems, and economies through unpredictable water availability and quality. In response, the world committed to Sustainable Development Goal 6 back in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda – with the aim of providing safely managed water and sanitation for all. (There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals that form a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.)
