World Water Day
World Water Day is March 22. This annual observance has been highlighting important themes about our planet's most vital resource since 1993. This year, people around the world will be thinking about the role of water in food security.
Think about how your school can draw attention to the importance of freshwater and advocate for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
Here are the questions that frame this year's inquiry:
- Why is water a key to food secuity?
- How much water is needed to grow our food?
- How is the global demand for food evolving?
- What is the role of the Green Revolution and the effect of climate change?
- How can we reduce waste, manage disasters and preserve access to water all living things need?
There are great campaign resources and educational ideas available, and every academic subject can connect with this opportunity to exercise our shared guardianship of the planet.
