World Water Day is an international day observed by the United Nations. It has been celebrated globally every year for more than 20 years following the United Nations General Assembly’s designation of 22 March as ‘World Water Day’ in 1993. In 2019, OHCHR and UNHCR lead the coordination of World Water Day under the theme of “Leaving no one behind”.
