SDG Media Zone - UN 2023 Water Conference

Water is critical for sustainable development and the eradication of poverty and hunger, and is indispensable for human development, health and wellbeing. But billions of people worldwide still live without safely managed drinking water and sanitation.

The UN 2023 Water Conference taking place in New York (March 22-24) aims to raise awareness of the global water crisis and decide on concerted action to achieve the internationally agreed water-related goals and targets. Join the conversation in the SDG Media Zone on the transformation and solutions needed to achieve SDG 6 and hear how the global community are accelerating progress towards this goal.

The SDG Media Zone is hosted by the UN Department of Global Communications in collaboration with the PVBLIC Foundation and the UN System.
