As COP27 fast approaches a slew of reports highlight how much work is yet to be done to meet the goal of reducing projected warming to 1.5 degrees. Water must be at the core of climate policy and action. Inclusive water governance has never been more urgent.

We feel the effects of the climate crisis through water, but not equally. A UN women article highlighted how women and girls are disproportionately affected by climate change while another report stated that every child will experience global warming by 2050. A worsening climate and water crisis also jeopardizes human rights.
