We're proud to share "The Rhythm of Water," a Collective Poem by our youth community that reflects our deep relationship with water. 💧
As we mark the launch of the Water Forward global initiative at the #WBGMeetings today, let this poem help remind us what's at stake — and what's possible when we act together. 💙
Inspired? Tune in for the launch event from 10:00-11:30 AM EDT/UTC-4 on worldbank.org/live! Water Forward will take unprecedented steps to make water systems investable, scalable, and well prepared to sustain jobs and economic growth.
