UN Water is calling for a “Day for Water and Water for Sustainable Development” http://www.unwater.org/worldwaterday/ .  2015 marks a turning point for water and sustainable development in several ways with two key events at the center of the world’s attention:  (i) the agreement on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the world agreeing upon a new global development framework requiring universal action from governments, private sector and citizens alike; and (ii) high expectations on the pivotal climate COP in Paris. At the same time, the World Economic Forum has identified water as the #1 risk in its 2015 Global Risk report.
