“There is an urgent need to establish strong international mechanisms to prevent the global water crisis from spiralling out of control,”:https://sdgs.un.org/conferences/water2023
Flagship UN report
first high-level Global Water Conference since 1977
Mina Guli’s body is broken and battered as she runs up to the steps of the United Nations in New York having just completed her 200th marathon in a year, traversing 8,440 kilometres across the world and arriving at the first UN Water Conference in 46 years.
It’s a long way from her home country of Australia where she began 12 months ago, but the millions of dead fish floating down the Darling-Baaka River at Menindee are in the forefront of her mind — and the whole reason she’s put her body on the line.
“When I saw the pictures from the fish kill last week it made me incredibly sad. Sad, because I think we’re going to see more of these in the future as climate change puts stress on our water,” the Melbourne woman said.
“I think this is yet another sign that that needs to change. We cannot allow more events like this to happen in our lifetime without considering how we can prevent them in the first place.”
damn don’t know if we’d run that far in a lifetime, we just sit on our arses spamming code at Forums all day
