Morocco, represented by the Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka at the head of a large delegation, will participate in the United Nations Conference on Water 2023, held from 22 to 24 March in New York.

“The Conference is an appropriate opportunity for Morocco to reiterate its ongoing commitment and to advocate with the international community for a better consideration of water issues in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and also to reaffirm and consolidate its ties with its partners, while marking its willingness to share its experiences and best practices in the field of water with countries that wish to do so, within the framework of an active and supportive cooperation,” said the Ministry in a statement.

The efforts of the Kingdom in the field of water and the open sites will be highlighted in a side-event under the theme “Sustainability in the good governance of groundwater resources,” whose objective is to federate the efforts of international actors around the sustainable governance of water resources at the highest level.

Co-organized by the governments of Tajikistan and the Netherlands with the support of the United Nations, the Conference will be dedicated to the comprehensive mid-term review of the implementation of the goals of the Water Action Decade 2018-2028, which was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly, in December 2016, the Ministry informs.

By adopting an inclusive and multisectoral approach, this Conference aims to federate efforts and mobilize the various stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of SDG 6 dedicated to water and will be sanctioned by a “Call to Action.”

The program will include plenary meetings, a general debate, high-level interactive dialogues dedicated to water in relation to health, development, climate, resilience, environment and international cooperation, side-events (200 events) and exhibitions, concludes the release.
