The UN World Water Day Summit will provide a high-level platform for dialogue surrounding sustainable development and global efforts to manage clean water. UN Ambassadors and diplomats, industry leaders including sustainability companies and environmental organizations, will spend the day focusing on the challenges many regions of the world face when it comes to the availability and necessity of clean water and more importantly, innovative solutions will be highlighted and addressed.
"With approximately 2.5 billion people living without basic sanitation facilities, and an estimated 748 million people lacking access to improved sources of drinking water, sustainable innovations and practices must lead the way," says MagneGas CEO Ermanno Santilli. "As an endorser of the UN Global Compact's CEO Water Mandate, we at MagneGas Corporation stand behind our pledge to provide opportunities to make a positive impact in the emerging global water crisis and advance sustainable solutions.
