World Water day - 22nd March
The theme for United Nations Water's World Water day in 2025 is 'glacier preservation', emphasizing the need for global action to manage melt water sustainably and reduce emissions, securing vital water resources for the future.
Glaciers are melting rapidly, disrupting water flows and affecting millions through floods, droughts, and rising sea levels. Mitigating climate change and adapting to the loss of glaciers is essential to protect communities and ecosystems.
The resources in this collection include materials on the theme of how sea ice and the oceans are affected by climate change, but also resources on the broader topic of water.
