Vatican cardinal: Access to clean water must be a priority

Vatican City, Mar 25, 2021 / 12:00 pm (CNA).- It must be an international priority to ensure that everyone has access to clean, potable water. That is the firm belief of the Vatican.

Cardinal Peter Turkson, prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, told CNA that the Holy See has been working for years to realize this vision, even before the United Nations General Assembly recognized the human right to water and sanitation in 2010.
