🌿 Biodiversity is more than nature — it’s the silent enabler of water, food, & climate resilience. Yet it’s overlooked in law & policy. Should it be recognised as a human right?
Learn more from our #WWW talk show with @IUCN and @WRC here: humanright2water.org/blog/2025/09...
Climate resilience refers to the ability of individuals, communities, and systems to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from adverse climate impacts. It involves adapting practices and infrastructure to minimize vulnerability.

For billions of people, meltwater flows are changing, causing floods, droughts, landslides and sea level rise, and damaging ecosystems.

Glaciers are melting faster than ever.
As the planet gets hotter due to climate change, our frozen world is shrinking, making the water cycle more unpredictable and extreme.
