'Drink water': Ronaldo removes Coca-Cola bottles in press conference
Cristiano Ronaldo has been praised by anti-obesity campaigners for removing two bottles of Coca-Cola during a European Championship press conference before declaring: “Drink water.”
Ronaldo’s public show of disdain for one of the biggest sponsors of the tournament has gone viral on social media, forcing Uefa to consider whether to continue to place the products in front of one of the world’s greatest players.

UN 2023 Water Conference | United for water
In March 2023, the first ever UN 2023 Water Conference will take place in New York. We need to come together for water.
Water is a fundamental part of all aspects of life. Water is inextricably linked to the three pillars of sustainable development, and it integrates social, cultural, economic and political values. It is crosscutting and supports the achievement of many SDGs through close linkages with climate, energy, cities, the environment, food security, poverty, gender equality and health, amongst others.
With climate change profoundly affecting our economies, societies
and environment, water is indeed the biggest deal breaker to achieve the internationally agreed water-related goals and targets, including those contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The 2023 UN Water Conference, co-hosted by the Netherlands and Tajikistan, started today at the UN headquarters in New York. The Conference will bring Heads of State and Government, Ministers, and stakeholders across all different sectors together achieve internationally agreed goals, including Sustainable Development Goal 6 of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for a fairer future, ensuring access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene for all.

Press Conference by Terry Duguid, MP and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Canada; Prof. Kaveh Madani, Director of United Nations University Institute for Water Environment and Health; Dr. Charlotte MacAlister, Senior Researcher, United Nations University Institute for Water Environment and Health on Canada and the United Nations University Institute for Water Environment and Health on the outcomes of the 2023 Global Water Security Assessment.
Briefing on the outcomes of the 2023 Global Water Security Assessment, the Director of United Nations University Institute for Water Environment and Health, Kaveh Madani today (23 Mar) said, “unless we make meaningful progress on SDG 6, we cannot deliver and fulfil the goals that we have by 2030.”
SDG 6, part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, states that access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene is the most basic human need and is essential for human health and well-being, energy and food production, healthy ecosystems, climate adaptation, poverty reduction, and more.
Talking to reporters in New York, on the margins of the 2023 UN Eater Conference, Madani said, “whatever we want to do and deliver would have a relationship and interdependence on water.”
Presenting the data contained in the report, the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health Senior Researcher, Charlotte MacAlister, said, “if we really want to reflect the situation that people feel on the ground and help the most vulnerable and marginalized, we have to think about how they experience water insecurity, whether that's physical and mental health, or their inability to have a stable household income, and for water to be affordable to them.”
Affordability, MacAlister, said, “is not assessed, not well assessed within the SDG six, and it was not assessed at all,” and stressed that “in the future, if we really do want to meet our development goals that needs to be addressed seriously.”
Madani said, “as scientists, we are supposed to say the things that many policymakers are not talking about. So, that that gap between science and policy would remain there forever. And it's a constructive gap. You know, it's a positive thing to have.”
He said, “we think that talking and speaking to people can change the game. The fact that we're showing that the progress has not been made, the fact that we are indicating this through valid data, reliable data, reliable measurements, can hopefully change the game.”
The Global Water Security Assessment revealed that despite all efforts undertaken to date, the state of globally relevant water-related data on almost all water issues remains poor.
The report – undertaken by the United Nations University Institute for Water Environment and Health (UNU INWEH), the UN’s only think tank on water – provides a preliminary quantitative global assessment that evaluates the state of water security for 7.78 billion people living in 186 countries.
The 10 components of water security assessed are: drinking water, sanitation, good health, water quality, water availability, water value, water governance, human safety, economic safety, water resource stability.

In March 2023, the first ever UN 2023 Water Conference will take place in New York. We need to come together for water.
Water is a fundamental part of all aspects of life. Water is inextricably linked to the three pillars of sustainable development, and it integrates social, cultural, economic and political values. It is crosscutting and supports the achievement of many SDGs through close linkages with climate, energy, cities, the environment, food security, poverty, gender equality and health, amongst others.
With climate change profoundly affecting our economies, societies
and environment, water is indeed the biggest deal breaker to achieve the internationally agreed water-related goals and targets, including those contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
