His video is titled: "Life Is Water" | #LifeIsWater

The Artist's #WaterAction commitment follows:

"Hello, my name is Necdet Yilmaz.
I am a cartoonist and an animator.

Water is one of the most essential resources for life and ecosystem functioning. It is a fundamental requirement for all living organisms to survive, grow and reproduce. However, the availability of water is increasingly threatened by global warming, which has resulted in more frequent and severe droughts, floods, and water scarcity. 

As an artist, i wanted to use my art to address to the impacts of global warming on water supply and the environment. I believe that art is one of the most powerful tool to express and spread ideas, thereforeI created a short animation, called 'Life is Water" for the UN 2023 Water Conference. Through my work, I tried to explain how water is so crucial for not only the fish and water plants but also to all other animals that live on the earth as well as for us the human beings. 

I am now more committed than ever to create more artwork in the form of animations, cartoons and illustrations to raise awareness so that we can protect and preserve this vital resource for future generations."
