UN Water Week UK

As a sustainability advocate and broadcaster I was appointed as the UN Water week UK ambassador to help educate and inspire young people about water conservation.

I have also joined forces with over 20,000 UK citizens including Deborah Meaden, Chris Packham, Bear Grylls and leading environmental organisations such as WWF, RSPB, Keep Britain Tidy, National Trust, and Soil association, to ensure we all have clean and safe water in the UK at March for Clean Water.

At the UN Water Week UK network reception, as a Youth Ambassador of the program, I called on families or individuals, people who are leading agricultural business and other industries, water companies and the UK government to take urgent steps and work together to ensure the supply of safe and clean water for now and the future.

Caroline Petit, Deputy Director of the United Nations Regional Information Centre (UNRIC) said, “We have the roadmap with the Sustainable Development Goals. So let us take action and protect, sustainably manage and ensure equitable access to water for all. Progress depends on our actions, not on our words.”

The UN Water Week UK is part of a global environmental education campaign for children and young people, that is delivered in alignment with goals of the UN-Water 2030 Strategy as part of the United Nations Water Action Decade. The initiative aims to bolster the efforts of the UN Water Action Decade by bringing together representatives from the United Nations, NGOs, industry leaders, policymakers and organisations from the film, media, and entertainment industry to inform, inspire and empower children and young people to take action around global water challenges including those we face in the UK.

As a business, school, University, NGO or an individual you too can join UK water Week and contribute to educating and engaging young children to stop water pollution and conserve water. To learn more and join Water Week please contact me or visit: https://www.wastebuster.co.uk/water-week
