3%

Only 3% of the world’s water is freshwater. And more than two-thirds of it is frozen as snow and ice.

30%

of the world’s population – around 2.1 billion people – lack access to safe drinking water.

70%

of the world’s population depends on water that flows across national borders, through transboundary rivers, lakes or underground aquifers. These shared resources create strong interdependencies between countries.
