The global coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the vital importance of access to water and sanitation. 10 years after the United Nations recognised the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation, the situation is critical: 2.2 billion people, 1 in 3, are still without access to safe drinking water.

In the run-up to France’s municipal elections, Coalition Eau and numerous partners are launching a campaign titled “Water is a right” to mobilise the government and elected representatives to address persisting challenges related to water and sanitation access in France and worldwide.
