Six months on, we are at the brink: of mass starvation; regional conflagration; a total loss of faith in global standards and norms.
It’s time to step back from that brink – to silence the guns – to ease the horrible suffering - & stop a potential famine before it is too late.

Water is a human right, intrinsic to every aspect of life.

Today, 153 countries share water resources. Yet only 24 have reported cooperation agreements for all their shared water. We must accelerate efforts to work together across borders.
