Water today is undervalued, misused and misallocated. Too many of us take it for granted - we turn on the tap and it flows. But did you know only 4% of Earth's water is freshwater and only 0.5% of that is safe for human consumption? As shocks of drought and deluge unleash their devastation, water has forced itself to center stage. It demands that we change fundamentally; it asks that we value it profoundly. BLOG: Practicing what you preach: Mozambique's natural resource management
The World Bank is supporting an increase in rural jobs and investment while promoting sustainable land management to conserve Mozambique's natural wealth. BLOG: To achieve 'learning for all', we must create inclusive systems for students with disabilities
While schools and educators aim at more inclusive approaches across the globe, it's important to acknowledge that mainstream education settings can unknowingly exclude deaf and hard of hearing people. FEATURE STORY: Early Childhood Education in Morocco: A Critical Window of Opportunities
