Although water only explicitly comprises one of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, its role is critical for the realization of most — if not all — of them. A few examples: When families don’t have access to clean water and nutritious food, their children are more likely to experience stunting and poor performance at school; when severe drought and floods force farmers to leave their lands in search of better jobs; and when water scarcity leaves power plants and factories ineffective.

Our 2017 Cartoon Calendar depicts some of the most important challenges in the provision of sustainable water and sanitation services for all. At the Water Global Practice we believe that improved services — combined with an integrated management of water resources — can spur transformational benefits for the poor and the economy at large. To reinforce this notion, the World Bank Group and its partners are launching the Global Water Security and Sanitation Partnership (GWSP), which will bring thought leadership, complementary experience, and critical bilateral financial support to fulfill the vision of a water-secure world for all.

A very special thank you to the talented artists from around the world who helped us craft critical messages with creativity and passion, while staying true to the calendar’s tradition of raising awareness through humor.

Wishing you a successful 2017!
