Global Water Issues and Community Health

That's also, of course, true with COVID, right?

We are all only as healthy as our neighbor is on our street, in our city,

in our region, in our nation, and globally.

And did we solve that? Like, did we actually manage to vaccinate

everyone in the

world? No. So highlighting water as a global

commons and what it means to work together and see it both out of that kind

of global commons perspective, but also the self-interest perspective,

'cause it

is, it does have that parallel. It's not only important,

but it's also important

because we haven't managed to solve those problems whi- which had

similar attributes, and water is something that people understand.

You know, climate change is a bit abstract.

Some people understand it really well, some understand it a bit, some just don't

understand it. Water, every kid knows how important it

is to have water.

When you're playing football and you're thirsty, you need water.

So there's also something about really getting citizen engagement around this and

really, in some ways, experimenting with this notion of the

common good.

Can we actually deliver this time in ways that we have failed miserably

other times? And hopefully, we won't keep failing on the other things.

But anyway.
