Water is the lifeblood of the Caribbean

From the highest mountain ridges, watersheds and rivers to wetlands, coastal waters, and coral reefs, the region’s freshwater and marine system flow together as one interconnected whole. What happens on land ultimately shapes the health of the sea. . Protecting water “from ridge to reef” is therefore essential to safeguarding public health, securing livelihoods, and sustaining the natural resources that Caribbean societies rely on every day.

On World Water Day 2026, we recognize the urgent need for sustainable, inclusive, and cooperative water management—especially in a region where communities, economies, and ecosystems are so tightly linked by water.

Across the Wider Caribbean Region, countries are advancing these goals through collaboration under the Cartagena Convention, the only legally binding regional agreement dedicated to protecting and developing the marine environment of the Wider Caribbean.

Tackling Pollution at the Source

Under the Protocol Concerning Pollution from Land-Based Sources and Activities (LBS Protocol), governments are working collectively to address one of the Caribbean’s most persistent environmental threats: pollution originating on land.

This includes:

Untreated wastewater
Agricultural runoff
Nutrient pollution
Plastics and solid waste
Urban and industrial discharges
These pollutants travel through rivers, groundwater, and coastal waters before reaching the Caribbean Sea—degrading water quality, stressing marine ecosystems, and harming key economic sectors such as tourism and fisheries. The LBS Protocol provides a framework for countries to reduce these pressures and strengthen water resource management across the entire ridge-to-reef continuum.

Delivering Results on the Ground

Collaboration under the Cartagena Convention is generating tangible results that benefit both communities and ecosystems.

LET'S GET ACTIVE! Mark World Water Day (March 22) by adding your name to https://keepwaterpublic.ca and help keep Ontario's water safe, clean and affordable.
Read Ontario's statement for Day: https://cupe.on.ca/on-world-water-day-pledge-to-keep-water-public/ Dear recipient's position will go here recipient's full name will go here,

As your constituent, I’m urging you to be a champion for public water. Regardless of Bill 60 passing in the Ontario Legislature, I call on you to oppose its implementation, the creation of for-profit “water corporations,” and to pledge to join the effort to have Bill 60 repealed. Our water is not a business—it’s a public service that belongs to all of us and that we all depend on.

Ontario has already lived through the consequences of weakened oversight. In Walkerton, after water testing went for-profit , people died from E. coli while thousands more became sick. In Hamilton, private management failed, leading to millions of litres of sewage spilling into the harbour. When decisions about water are made outside the public’s control, communities are the ones who pay the price.

Ontario’s public water system is one of the safest and most affordable in the world. It isn’t broken—and there’s no reason to replace accountable, elected oversight with unelected corporate boards. Public water works because it’s accountable to the people who depend on it.

I’m asking you to publicly oppose the implementation of Bill 60 and pledge to work towards its repeal. Our water belongs to all Ontarians—and it must remain publicly owned, publicly accountable, and managed in the public interest.

Sincerely,

your full name will go here
your location will go here
