founding signatories

We are the founding signatories to the Geneva Actions on Human Water Security.

As individuals, and as water researchers and practitioners, we have come from around the world and chosen to act together to change ‘business as usual’ in how we access, use, and reuse water.

Collectively, we have committed ourselves to prioritise local and global actions and to focus on water solutions.
