Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on New Year's Day 2026.

Declared a human right by the United Nations in 2010, clean water and sanitation are essential for life, health, and dignity. Yet over 2 billion people lack safe drinking water, and nearly half the world lives without safely managed sanitation services.
