Water and SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)

Balancing the Basics Series - National Federation of Business & Professional Women's Clubs (NFBPWC)

Water touches on every aspect of our lives, across borders, scales, and sectors. It’s something we cannot afford to run out of, as it supports other essential resources, such as energy, as well as ourselves – a person can survive for about 4 days under ideal conditions without water. Yet, water remains under-appreciated and undervalued.

Using U.S.-based case studies and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for background, this program explores the systemic and foundational role of water in our lives, especially for women.
