This week, leaders from around the world are attending the first water-focused event hosted by the United Nations in 46 years.
It's an opportunity to search for answers as the world struggles with increasingly extreme water challenges highlighted in the recent IPCC report.

And that is why, in 2020, Microsoft announced its commitment to become water positive by 2030 and joined the Water Resilience Coalition. Getting to water positive goes beyond reducing water-use intensity and replenishing water sources; it's also about providing people across the globe with access to water and sanitation services, engaging in public policy and driving innovation.
