The UNESCO Centre of Catalonia – Unescocat and Barcelona City Council offer a travelling exhibition called “L’aigua al segle XXI” (Water in the 21st century) and based on the United Nations World Water Development reports.

The exhibition is made up of a total of seventeen visual, entertaining panels based on the most relevant data collected by the World Water Assessment Programme on these reports which describe the state of water resources and future perspectives of the planet’s freshwater. The collection of data is carried out in cooperation with 24 agencies and United Nations organisations.

The panels were originally published as posters by Unescocat and the Caixa Catalunya foundation as an educational resource for secondary education.
