Seven core ideas toward #WaterAwareness, #WaterConscience, and #GameChangers” at the United Nations 2023 Water Conference on March 21, 2023. Each of the commitments supports one of the initially proposed seven core water action ideas in connection with SDG6 Water & Sanitation, along with several cross-cutting SDGs.
