"WATER FOR PEACE" Water can create peace or spark conflict. DID YOU KNOW?? 2.2 billion still live without safely managed drinking water, including 115 million people who drink surface water.

Last week we provided some tips & tricks for experiencing Extreme Heat conditions. Today we wanted to follow-up with news we have discovered from the New York Times. Various labor and environmental groups have been pushing FEMA to declare #extremeheat and #wildfiresmoke as #majordisasters. This would allow for FEMA funding to support communities in activating cooling centers, water, and/or PPE to respond and recover from these hazards. What are your communities doing to prepare for extreme heat and respond to wildfires? https://lnkd.in/gnN_tMKK
Dozens of Groups Push FEMA to Recognize Extreme Heat as a ‘Major Disaster’

Get your Early Bird ticket and join the conversation: https://lnkd.in/gQ9Y7bN And read this definition of water cooperation from our Bridging Borders #Glossary 📖 〰️〰️〰️ Water cooperation refers to a wide range of interaction between parties sharing a water resource, such as a river in a source-to-sea context, a lake, wetland, or groundwater resource. Such technical and political cooperation may occur in a variety of processes with different degrees of involvement and coordination and different levels of formality or informality. #WWWeek #BridgingBorders #WaterCooperation

DuPont Enterprise Water Solutions: solving the most complex water related environmental challenges through science and innovation.
Years ago in Mexico City, I came across a thought-provoking billboard at the corner of Periferico and Paseo de la Reforma. It stated: "the next world war will be fought over water, and not oil." The rise in water-related conflicts in recent years, particularly in the last decade, is a cause for concern. Ensuring access to clean and safe water for all 8 billion people is a monumental and essential task for each one of us. #WaterSecurity #GlobalChallenge #CleanWaterForAll https://lnkd.in/eeruKw68

Good to see an update to the national water agreement and recognition of the importance of Indigenous communities in decision making and management as well as recognising cultural flows. Waterways and water are interconnected with cultural and spiritual values and is part of cultural heritage. We are working on many sea and fresh water surveys including submerged sites and managing seascapes with Indigenous communities and the relationship of water, culture and community to life is always prominent and understood. #water #culturalflows #nationalwaterpolicy
Australian Minister for the Environment and Water at Australian Government | Authorised T Plibersek, ALP, Redfern.
Australians know better than anyone how precious water is. How we manage it is more important than ever as severe droughts and floods become more common. That’s why we’re updating the national water agreement – partnering with First Nations communities and bringing leadership back to water management. From communities to industry, we all have a role to play in protecting our water. You’re invited to have your say on our plan.
