Why solutions? We believe there’s great work being done & cities can learn from each other in our collective pursuit for water security in the 21st century. #w12programs#watersecurityw12plus.org
At a time when more of the world lives in urban than rural areas, and when we are seeing more occurrences of longer periods of extreme weather events, we need to be designing smarter, modern, and more liveable cities.#ItsTime#W12programs#water@unescoWATER@W12_Programs
