Information materials to support outreach activities for World Wetlands Day on 2 February 2024 are available to download online at www.worldwetlandsday.org.
Wetlands and human wellbeing is the theme for World Wetlands Day 2024. This year’s campaign spotlights how interconnected wetlands and human life are with people drawing sustenance, inspiration and resilience from these productive ecosystems. The theme for 2024 underscores how all aspects of human wellbeing are tied to the health of the world’s wetlands. Every wetland matters. Every effort counts.
Human wellbeing is irrevocably tied to the state of the world’s wetlands. But they must be healthy if they are to continue to provide us with water and food, support biodiversity, provide livelihoods, protect against extreme weather events, and mitigate against climate change. Hence, the campaign highlights three main messages which we invite you to adapt and share them widely.
- Investing in the sustainable use of wetlands means investing in the future of humanity.
- Wetlands can provide cities and their residents with multiple economic, social and cultural benefits that support human wellbeing.
- Wetland restoration is essential to overcoming the climate-biodiversity crisis and to delivering the Sustainable Development Goals for the benefit of all people.
