Water is at the core of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, energy and food production, healthy ecosystems and for human survival itself. Water is also at the heart of adaptation to climate change, serving as the crucial link between society and the environment.

Water is also a rights issue. As the global population grows, there is an increasing need to balance all of the competing commercial demands on water resources so that communities have enough for their needs. In particular, women and girls must have access to clean, private sanitation facilities to manage menstruation and maternity in dignity and safety.

At the human level, water cannot be seen in isolation from sanitation. Together, they are vital for reducing the global burden of disease and improving the health, education and economic productivity of populations.

Mar 11, 2020 Granted, many veteran UNO players have long played a boozy version of the classic game, but now, the makers of UNO have created an official version of Dunk UNO, complete with its own freakin’ set of shot glasses (cue fangirl moment). Here’s how the game is played: If you get hit with a “Draw 2” card, you have to take a shot. Adult Uno, Drunk Uno, Drinking game. $20.00 + $8.50 shipping. Drunk Uno Adult Card Game,.BONUS. Card Clip.

The Drunk UNO Game comes with 4 shot glasses that you can fill with your favorite liquor. It could be vodka, rum, tequila, gin, whiskey, brandy, or whatever spirit you desire.Additionally, it includes a printed rule sheet specifying the number of shots for particular action cards.

Water-related challenges

  • 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services. (WHO/UNICEF 2019)
  • Over half of the global population or 4.2 billion people lack safely managed sanitation services. (WHO/UNICEF 2019)
  • 297,000 children under five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases due to poor sanitation, poor hygiene, or unsafe drinking water. (WHO/UNICEF 2019)
  • 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress. (UN 2019)
  • 90 per cent of natural disasters are weather-related, including floods and droughts. (UNISDR)
  • 80 per cent of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused. (UNESCO, 2017)
  • Around two-thirds of the world’s transboundary rivers do not have a cooperative management framework. (SIWI)
  • Agriculture accounts for 70 per cent of global water withdrawal. (FAO)
  • Roughly 75 per cent of all industrial water withdrawals are used for energy production. (UNESCO, 2014)

The right to water

One of the most important recent milestones has been the recognition in July 2010 by the United Nations General Assembly of the human right to water and sanitation. The Assembly recognized the right of every human being to have access to enough water for personal and domestic uses, meaning between 50 and 100 litres of water per person per day. The water must be safe, acceptable and affordable. The water costs should not exceed 3 per cent of household income. Moreover, the water source has to be within 1,000 metres of the home and collection time should not exceed 30 minutes.

Water and the Sustainable Development Goals

Uno

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 is to “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”. The targets cover all aspects of both the water cycle and sanitation systems, and their achievement is designed to contribute to progress across a range of other SDGs, most notably on health, education, economics and the environment.

The UN and Water

The United Nations has long been addressing the global crisis caused by insufficient water supply to satisfy basic human needs and growing demands on the world’s water resources to meet human, commercial and agricultural needs.

The United Nations Water Conference (1977), the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade (1981-1990), the International Conference on Water and the Environment (1992) and the Earth Summit (1992) — all focused on this vital resource.

The ‘Water for Life’ International Decade for Action 2005-2015 helped around 1.3 billion people in developing countries gain access to safe drinking water and drove progress on sanitation as part of the effort to meet the Millennium Development Goals.

Recent milestone agreements include the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the 2015-2030 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development, and the 2015 Paris Agreement within the UN Convention Framework on Climate Change.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

Contaminated water and a lack of basic sanitation are undermining efforts to end extreme poverty and disease in the world’s poorest countries.

In 2017, 2 billion people worldwide did not have access to basic sanitation facilities such as toilets or latrines. 673 million people still practised open defecation. According to the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation, at least 1.2 billion people worldwide are estimated to drink water that is not protected against contamination from faeces. Even more drink water, which is delivered through a system without adequate protection against sanitary hazards.

Unclean water and child mortality

Unclean water and poor sanitation are a leading cause of child mortality. Childhood diarrhoea is closely associated with insufficient water supply, inadequate sanitation, water contaminated with communicable disease agents, and poor hygiene practices. Diarrhoea is estimated to cause 1.5 million child deaths per year, mostly among children under five living in developing countries.

Improved sanitation and economic benefits

The links between lack of water and sanitation access and the development goals are clear, and the solutions to the problem are known and cost-effective. A 2012 WHO study shows that every US $1 invested in improved sanitation translates into an average global economic return of US $5.5. Those benefits are experienced specifically by poor children and in the disadvantaged communities that need them most.

Celebrating water resources

Every year, there are two UN international observances on water and sanitation: World Water Day, 22 March and World Toilet Day, 19 November. Each day is marked by a public campaign which is about raising awareness of the issues, focusing attention on a particular theme, and inspiring action.

The International Decade for Action, ‘Water for Sustainable Development,’ started on World Water Day, 22 March 2018, and will end on World Water Day, 22 March 2028.

The Decade is about accelerating efforts towards meeting water-related challenges, including limited access to safe water and sanitation, increasing pressure on water resources and ecosystems, and an exacerbated risk of droughts and floods.

The Uno Drinking Game has players drinking to the classic card game Uno. For those who don’t know Uno is played much like crazy eights. Try to play cards of the same suit or number and be the first one to run out of cards. There’s also action cards to reverse turn order or change the suit.

This game makes for a great drinking game because it’s very simple to pick up and play. Plus that old uno game has probably been sitting on your shelf for close to a decade so why not give it a new use?

Requirements

A copy of the game and a few drinks

Set up

Just like the normal game of Uno shuffle the deck and deal out 7 cards to each player. Then place one card face up next to the shuffled face down pile. The player to the left of the dealer will be starting the game.

Uno Drinking Game Rules

  • Whenever a player has to pick up a card he must drink 1 for each card picked up.
  • When a player yells “Uno!” correctly to indicate he has one card left every other player must drink.
  • If a player fails to call “Uno!” and another player calls him on it, he must finish his drink.
  • One the game is finished and one player has run out of cards each remaining player must drink for each card still in their hand.
  • If someone plays a reverse card, whoever got reversed drinks

Overall it’s not a whole ton of drinking unless players are forgetting to call Uno. Which is more likely to happen the longer you play. So it’s easy to play multiple rounds and keep it going.

Other Fun Games

The Uno Drinking Game is great for parties or any other type of get together. It also accommodates up to 10 players so nobody has to feel left out.
