World Water Day
World Water Day 2025: Glacier Preservation
Our staff around the world are showing support for the United Nations' World Water Day 2025. Held every March 22 since 1993, World Water Day provides an opportunity to learn about water-related issues and inspire change.
This year's World Water Day theme — 'Save Our Glaciers' — is about protecting these frozen water resources for the future. As the planet gets hotter, our frozen world is shrinking, making the water cycle more unpredictable, putting countless communities and ecosystems at risk of devastation. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we can slow down glacial retreat.
In 2015, world leaders committed to Sustainable Development Goal 6 as part of the 2030 Agenda — the promise that everyone would have safely managed water and sanitation by 2030.
We hope you join us in this campaign and be the change you want to see in the world.
