Celebrated annually on 22 March, World Water Day is a UN Day of Observance with a core focus on supporting the achievement of SDG 6 (water and sanitation for all), raising awareness of the 2.1 billion people living without access to safe water.<\/p>\n<p>The theme for 2026 is Water and Gender. The global water crisis affects everyone, but not equally. Where people lack the rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, inequalities flourish, with women and girls bearing the brunt. Too often, the systems that govern water leave women and girls out of decision-making, leadership, funding and representation. This webinar will discuss transformative, rights-based approaches to solving these challenges, where women\u2019s voices are heard and their agency recognized.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Program<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>16:00\u201316:05 Opening Remarks<\/p>\n<p>Shinobu Yume Yamaguchi (Director, UNU-IAS)<\/p>\n<p>16:05\u201316:25 Priority Issues in Achieving SDG 6<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Human Rights Perspective to Water and Health: Yasushi Katsuma (Professor, Waseda University)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Gender Perspective on Water: Eiko Narita (Chief, Representation Office in Japan, UNFPA)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Environmental Perspective on Water: Pham Ngoc Bao (Research Director, Sustainable Consumption and Production Area, IGES)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Disaster Risk Reduction Perspective on Water: Miko Maekawa (Senior Research Fellow, SPF)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Engineering Perspective on Water: Kensuke Fukushi (Director, IFI, The University of Tokyo)<\/p>\n<p>16:25\u201316:55 Panel Discussion<\/p>\n<p>16:55\u201317:00 Closing Remarks<\/p>\n<p>Yasushi Katsuma (Academic Programme Advisor, UNU-IAS)<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Registration<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This event will be held online.
