The United Nations 2023 Water Conference came to an end on Friday with the adoption of a new water action agenda, which the organization described as a “milestone” action plan with nearly 700 commitments to safeguard humanity’s most treasured global common good.
The Agenda outlines a number of commitments designed to alter things as they are now, from adopting wiser food choices to reassessing water as a potent economic driver and a component of Earth’s cultural history.
“Water needs to be at the center of the global political agenda” declared the UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres.
He explained that setting a new, science-based route to implementing the Water Action Agenda is essential to realizing all of humanity’s goals for the future.
According to the UN’s official page, this translates into proactive measures like creating new, alternative food systems to lessen the unsustainable use of water in agriculture and introducing a new global information structure to direct plans and priorities for achieving the sustainable development goals.
More than 2,000 government representatives, scientists, academics, civil society organizations, indigenous peoples, entrepreneurs, and youth delegates attended the water conference, which was held in the UN headquarters from March 22 to March 24.
