Today, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/es\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/drinking-water\">2.2 billion people<\/a> lack access to safely managed drinking water services and nearly half of the world&#8217;s population suffers from severe water shortages for at least part of the year. Moreover, these figures are expected to increase due to the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 theme, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/es\/observances\/water-day\">&#8220;Water for Peace,&#8221;<\/a> underscores the importance of this scarce resource in many of the <strong>world&#8217;<\/strong>s <strong>challenges, from climate change to political instability<\/strong>, and emphasizes that water and peace go hand in hand. &#8220;When we cooperate on water, we create a positive cascading effect, promoting harmony, generating prosperity and building resilience in the face of common challenges,&#8221; the UN says.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to the organization, this resource can also be a <strong>point of contention between communities<\/strong>, especially when access is unequal or scarce, triggering conflicts. Only 0.5% of the Earth&#8217;s water is usable and available, and climate change threatens that supply. Also, over the last twenty years, continental water reservoirs have declined at a rate of one centimeter per year.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bancomundial.org\/es\/topic\/water\/overview\">World Bank<\/a>, water-related disasters have dominated the list of disasters over the past 50 years and account for 70% of all natural disaster-related deaths.<\/p>\n<p>This situation is further complicated by the fact that more than 3 billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. However, out of 153 countries that share rivers, lakes and aquifers with their neighbors, <strong>only 24 have cooperation agreements for all the water resources<\/strong> they share.<\/p>\n<p>Access to water and sanitation is a human right recognized in 2010 by the United Nations General Assembly. As such, it is a key element in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdsocialesa2030.gob.es\/agenda2030\/index.htm\">2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/a>, especially in Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), &#8220;Clean Water and Sanitation,&#8221; which seeks to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all people.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/data\/gho\/data\/themes\/topics\/topic-details\/GHO\/water-sanitation-and-hygiene-burden-of-disease\">World Health Organization (2022)<\/a>, every year <strong>1.4 million people die<\/strong> and 74 million have their lives shortened by diseases caused by lack of access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services. In addition, almost <strong>half of the world&#8217;s population lacks safe sanitation systems<\/strong> and a total of 1. 800 million people are served or work in health care facilities that <a href=\"https:\/\/data.unicef.org\/resources\/global-progress-report-on-wash-in-health-care-facilities-fundamentals-first\/\">lack basic water services<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":97852208,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-97852231","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
