"Every drop of water is on an endless journey through the sky, the soil and our lives. We must protect it, for our sake and for the planet."
Sir David Attenborough, Oceans (2024)

Water Week 2025 (2–8 June) couldn't come at a more crucial time. This year, as world leaders gather at the UN Ocean Conference in France, the spotlight is firmly on protecting our most precious resource. The conference will set bold new goals to safeguard one-third of the world's oceans — making this one of the most significant moments for water protection in history.

That's why Water Week 2025 is more than just a school campaign — it's part of a global movement to raise awareness, spark action, and support the UN Water Action Decade.  We've teamed up with Cartoon Network Climate Champions and The Waterubas to create a dynamic campaign for schools to get involved. There's something for every age group to explore, discuss, and take action.
