This resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of World Drowning Prevention Day , acknowledging drowning as the third-leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide and a significant cause of death for children and young people. It highlights that drowning is responsible for over 2.5 million preventable deaths in the past decade, with a disproportionate impact in low- and middle-income countries and during flood-related disasters. The House of Representatives aims to catalyze concrete action and generate global attention for drowning prevention and improved water safety. It recognizes the importance of this advocacy event to highlight the tragic impact of drowning and to promote lifesaving solutions, including those evidence-based interventions recommended by the World Health Organization. The resolution further encourages intergovernmental cooperation to develop new prevention policies, legislation, investment, and to facilitate multisectoral discussions.
