The global water crisis: Be the change you want to see in the world

Resumo

The work is based on narrative description carried out through materials that have been pub-lished on the theme of water on a global and regional scale. The context presented is guided by the Declaration endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly establishing the dec-ade from 2018 to 2028 as the International Decade of Action "Water for Sustainable Devel-opment" in order to accelerate efforts to address water-related challenges. The theme "Ac-celerating Change – Be the change you want to see in the World" was also instituted as a Commemoration of World Water Day for the year 2023, with the aim of discussing ways to accelerate change to solve the global water and sanitation crisis. This narrative was prepared with the purpose of promoting knowledge of problems related to the global water crisis and, at the same time, seeks to sensitize the reader about their role in mobilizing and acting to face this crisis. Actions such as encouraging the participation of young people in Science, the popularization of Science through qualified information, and the awareness and support of the entire society in the face of the needs of conservation, preservation, restoration, and recovery of nature are some of the attitudes to minimize the effects of the global water cri-sis.
