Water’s global moment has arrived, the World Economic Forum joyously declares on its Global Water Initiative page referring to the upcoming United Nations Water Conference. The website must be out of date because the UN’s conference has been and gone.
In March 2023, the UN Water Conference was held in New York, co-hosted by the governments of the Netherlands and Tajikistan. It is the first time this conference has been held in 46 years; the first was held in Argentina in 1977.
