Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on humanity Friday to take steps for “a water-secure future.”<\/p>\n

In closing remarks at the United Nations Water Conference, Guterres said the three-day event demonstrated a “central truth” and “as humanity\u2019s most precious global common good, water unites us all.”.<\/p>\n

The UN chief pointed out that water has a wide range of influence, from global challenges to peace and from human rights to gender equality.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s take the next steps in our journey to a water-secure future for all,” said Guterres, highlighting the importance of a “Water Action Agenda,” which was created on the margin of the conference.<\/p>\n

“All of humanity\u2019s hopes for the future depend, in some way, on charting a new science-based course to bring the Water Action Agenda to life,” he added.<\/p>\n

UN General Assembly President Csaba Korosi said $300 billion was pledged to buoy the transformative “Water Action Agenda.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcome of this conference is not a legally binding document, but it still turns the page of history,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
