Dewat summit background
Safe drinking water and sanitation are fundamental human rights, critical for health, livelihoods, and socio-economic stability. However, when water is scarce or polluted, it exacerbates food insecurity, economic hardship, and conflict. Addressing these challenges is central to SDG 6, as emphasized by the United Nations World Water Development Report 2024, which highlights water’s role in sustainable development, climate action, and peacebuilding.
