The United Nation’s World Water Day 2024 was held on March 22nd. with the theme “Leveraging Water for Peace”. World Water Day exists to raise awareness about the 2.2 billion people in our world living without access to safe water.

As the world’s temperature increases and weather patterns shift, preserving and protecting water sources will become a crucial part of humanity’s future. 
How do you get your water? Have you ever used a well or had to travel to get water? The Climate Tribe encourages you conserve water and waste less in every way you can.

This award-winning photograph is from the Ninth season, “Water”, of the Hamdan bin Mohamed bin Rashid al Maktoum International Photography Award (HIPA) Archive. The Climate Tribe has partnered with HIPA, leveraging the power of photography to inspire global awareness of sustainability and advance climate action. The first collaboration under this partnership is the COP28 Photography Competition, which is currently in the judging and verification process. Winners to be announced!
