Un Environment Programme Unep Un Water Unep delivers data driven insights for informed water quality policies, partners with stakeholders for sustainable management and supports countries to assess and improve water quality. While access to fresh water, in sufficient quantity, quality and availability, is fundamental to human life, health, well being and dignity and is a human right, the ecosystems that provide this fresh water are under increasing threat.
Unep United Nations Environment Programme Office Of The Secretary The global environment monitoring system for freshwater (gems water) of the united nations environment program (unep) was established in 1978 to collect world wide water quality data for assessments of status and trends in global inland water quality. The un environment programme (unep) is the global environmental steward that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the un system, and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

Water quality impacts human health, water quantity, livelihood, and economic activity, and climate change. emerging contaminants, population growth and urbanization also present additional stresses to water quality. The goal of the world water quality assessment is to review the state of freshwater quality and its potential impacts on ecosystems health, human health and food security, in conjunction with pressures and key drivers to overcome the global water crisis in a targeted way. Unep helps countries protect and restore freshwater ecosystems to sustain their services for generations to come. freshwater ecosystems underpin all human social and economic activity. they are vital for supporting the web of life on earth and need to be valued, conserved and restored.
