Water for a sustainable future – young people playing their part

Without water there can be no life. What sounds like an obvious statement is unfortunately still not something that can be taken for granted for many people. In 2024, 2.2 billion people live without a supply of clean drinking water and 3.5 billion people have no access to safe sanitation. The SDC is therefore working specifically to promote the realisation of the human rights related to water and sustainable water management at all levels. To do this, it is working closely with young people.
