WSP in association with The University of Edinburgh’s Environment & Development Network will be hosting an exclusive screening of the 2024 groundbreaking Netflix Documentary Brave Blue World. ‘Our Blue World’ will explore humanity’s profound relationship with water and reveal how human agency can help rebalance the planet’s water systems. The event aims to raise awareness about the importance of water conservation and the impact of water-related issues in our planet.

World Water Day, observed annually on March 22 since 1993, is a United Nations initiative that highlights the critical importance of freshwater and advocates for sustainable management of water resources. Each year, UN-Water selects a theme to address specific water-related challenges. In 2025, the theme is "Glacier Preservation," focusing on the vital role glaciers play in Earth's water systems and the urgent need to protect them amidst climate change.
