SDG Media Zone: Running the World Blue

A view of a SDG Media Zone event, "Running the world blue".

World renowned water campaigner, Mina Guli, has just completed 200 marathons in 1 year for water (4 marathons a week) as part of a global campaign to raise awareness about the world's water crises, build a movement for change, and inspire real action here at the UN Water Conference. Mina's extraordinary journey took her to 32 countries where she met people on the frontlines of the water crisis and witnessed the damage we have done to our rivers, lakes and wetlands. And the Run Blue campaign is driving change - from tens of thousands of people running with Mina to the multinational, Bayer, making water a priority and encouraging other companies to do the same.

Speakers: Mina Guli, Marathon Runner and Activist; Matthias Berninger, Bayer's Senior Vice President Public Affairs, Science & Sustainability; and Moderator Maher Nasser, Director of Outreach Division, UN Department of Global Communications.
