World Bank Launches Initiative to Enhance Water Security for 1 Billion People by 2030
The World Bank has announced the Water Forward initiative, aiming to improve water security for one billion people by 2030. The program focuses on expanding access to safe water, sanitation, and climate-resilient systems. It targets three key areas: water access for people, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. The initiative will be supported by development banks, private investors, and philanthropic partners. The European Investment Bank has joined the coalition, committing to support water security for 300 million people. The program addresses global water scarcity intensified by climate change.
