We depend on thriving, healthy freshwater basins for everything from food and health to energy and economic growth. But rapid development and environmental changes are impacting how well these ecosystems can provide for people and nature. We must act now to manage freshwater resources to ensure they can sustain us long into the future. In most of the world, the impacts of our actions and of climate change on basins are rarely measured and little understood by key stakeholders, from the general public to government decision-makers. With our partners at University of Maryland's Center for Environmental Science, WWF is producing, packaging, and sharing a process that can mainstream report card development in basins around the world. By developing report cards in a variety of basins, we can move closer to our goal of securing fresh water for people and nature (WWF Description and Introduction).
