High-level Event on interlinkages between water and climate action

As water plays a pivotal role in how the world mitigates and adapts to the effects of climate change, including in the context of disaster risk reduction, this high-level event in the framework of the Water Action Decade, highlight the potential and existing interlinkages between water and climate action while shining a light on sustainable approaches to water resource management for the achievement of climate objectives in the context of sustainable development.

The outcomes of this event will facilitate the implementation of the Water Action Decade raising the momentum produced by the World Water Day, further feeding into the high-level meeting organized by the President of the UN General Assembly on “Climate Protection for All” and looking toward the high-level meetings in 2021 and 2023.
