World Meteorological Day

Human Wrongs Watch

23 March 2020 (World Meteorological Organization)* —  Fresh water is vital for life. On average, a human being cannot survive more than three days without it. Water is essential for the production of our food, virtually all of our goods and services and for the environment.

The world now faces increasing challenges posed by water stress, floods and droughts and lack of access to clean supplies. There is an urgent need to improve forecasting, monitoring and management of water supplies and to tackle the problem of too much, too little or too polluted water.

Economic Slowdown as a Result of COVID Is No Substitute for Climate Action – World Meteorological Organization

Human Wrongs Watch

20 March 2020 (World Meteorological Organization)* — Efforts to control the Coronavirus pandemic have reduced economic activity and led to localized improvements in air quality. But it is too early to assess the implications for concentrations of greenhouse gases which are responsible for long-term climate change. Carbon dioxide levels at key observing stations have so far this year been higher than last year.

Water and Climate Change ‘We Cannot Afford to Wait’

Human Wrongs Watch

22 March 2020 (World Water Day)* — Climate delay is almost as dangerous as climate denial. Every country in the world must work more quickly.

WWD2020_poster_screen_WaterCanHelpFightClimateChange_ENG-600-600x848

What do we mean when we say: ‘We cannot afford to wait. Climate policy makers must put water at the heart of action plans’?

Extreme weather events are making water more scarce, more unpredictable, more polluted or all three.

Humans need water to survive, as do all the systems we rely on: sanitation, healthcare, education, business and industry.

Action plans to tackle climate change need to be integrated across different sectors and coordinated across borders. And they must have one thing in common: safe and sustainable water management.

Water and Climte Change: What Do We Mean?

World Water Day: Often Overlooked, Water Resources Are Essential Part of Solution to Climate Change

Human Wrongs Watch

22 March 2020 (UN News)* — On World Water Day, the United Nations is calling on everyone to take action to save the planet and its water, with the launch of a flagship report that says reducing both the impacts and drivers of climate change will require major changes in the way we use and reuse the Earth’s limited water resources.

UNDP Belarus | In Belarus, peat bogs like the one pictured here, are being revitalized and act as effective carbon sinks, which can absorb and capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and reduce its concentration in the air.

Thirsting for Water Security?

Human Wrongs Watch

By Inge Kaul*

BERLIN, Germany, Mar 20 2020 (IPS)* – Water is essential and indispensable for life on earth. We know that; and many of us have perhaps heard, written and uttered these words themselves a ‘million’ times.

Therefore, I am astonished and increasingly worried about the relatively low-level of attention and priority accorded to water at the practical-political level.
