IUCN - About the Water Programme

 Mali, West Africa

The Challenge

Only 3% of water on earth is freshwater, about 2/3 of this amount is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The world faces considerable challenges in managing this amount equitably for a growing world population.

The IUCN Water Programme seeks to bring together its extensive network of members, scientific commissions, government and private sector partners to sustainably develop solutions and initiatives to preserve our water resources.
