YNN at UN 2023 Water Conference

The most valuable and significant natural resource on Earth is water. It keeps all life going. Without water, life cannot exist. Water is essential not only for humans but also for the ecosystem as a whole. Water covers about 71% of Earth’s surface. Sadly, freshwater accounts for only 3% of the available water. Glaciers and ice caps that have frozen over account for approximately two-thirds of the freshwater. Groundwater and surface water account for the remaining small amount.
