💧 🔸 #SolveTheChallenge2026 is here.
This year, we are focusing on one of the most pressing issues of our time: the #WaterCrisis.

Our theme, "Water Crisis: What WE Can Do," is a call to action for everyone. It’s about "WE" as a Mission, "WE" through our Projects, and "WE" as individuals.

During the annual meeting of the Natural Heritage Mission’s Community of Practice (CoP) held in Lisbon in May, we visited the Aqueduto das Águas Livres, where we launched our "Solve the Challenge 2026" awareness campaign, with central theme: "Water crisis: what we can do".

#SolveTheChallenge2026 is officially LIVE. This year’s topic is: Water Crisis: what WE can DO. 💧 Words have power, so listen up as Martina and Arja share what WE can do starting now.
