The world needs water. Hear what it has to say:

A special word from Fmr. Secretary John F. Kerry, U.S.A. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Change

“Most people will first experience the impact of climate change through water. Two billion people already lack access to safely managed drinking water, and this problem is only going to get worse due to the climate crisis. The world is changing.”

– Fmr. Secretary John F. Kerry, United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Change
