March 22 is World Water Day!
“The theme for World Water Day 2019 is ‘Leaving no one behind,’ which is the central promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: as sustainable development progresses, everyone must benefit.”
In 2017, the NGO Mining Working Group, an NGO coalition promoting human and environmental rights at the UN, prepared Water & Sanitation: A People’s Guide to SDG 6 – A Rights-Based Approach to Implementation.
“To achieve and stay truthful to the global pledge of leaving no one behind, we specifically call for a rights-based implementation of SDG 6 that: prevents the commodification, increases public financing, and promotes commons-based water resource management.”
