To collaborate, according to UN Water , you must:
- Learn: know why people do not have access and how these problems are being addressed
- Share: it is not enough for you to understand the situation, for this reason it is essential that you tell more people and be aware of the water crisis. UN Water offers resources with which you can start conversations.
- Act: although decision-making depends on entities superior to the subjects, such as state entities, we can all take care of and save water. Additionally, UN Water ensures that you can organize groups of people who are interested in knowing about the problem to take action.
