World Water Day 2018
Rome time
An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. The U.N. General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day, stressing the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
This year’s theme is “Nature for Water”.
FAO will celebrate the World Water Day by hosting a discussion on the theme from the perspective of FAO’s mandate.
