🌍 Exciting News from Stockholm Water Week! 🌊 We’re excited to remind you of the upcoming session that will explore the critical issues of transboundary water quality cooperation. Despite a growing trend in cooperation, many water basins still lack the mechanisms needed to combat degradation, impacting both geopolitical stability and ecosystem health. Join us for an insightful panel discussion in this session titled "Best Practices of Transboundary Water Quality Cooperation". We’re thrilled to have Birgit Vogel, Executive Secretary of the ICPDR, share her expertise on the panel, diving into crucial topics that impact our water resources. This session is moderated by Dimitris Faloutsos of the Global Water Partnership, ensuring a thought-provoking and engaging conversation. Key Highlights: 👉 Discussions will focus on the benefits and best practices of transboundary water quality cooperation, from source-to-sea, and how to strengthen these mechanisms in the face of ongoing challenges. 👉 This session will also feature experiences from around the world, offering valuable lessons for those working to build resilient and effective cooperative arrangements.

💧Today, we celebrate the World Water Day and the anniversary of our Water Vision’s launch for a Water-Smart Society at the UN Water Conference last year! In 2024, the theme "Water for Peace" resonates more profoundly than ever. 🌍The pressing challenge of "too much, too little, and too polluted water" can fuel societal instability and conflict worldwide, highlighting the pivotal role of water in promoting peace. 🎯That's why driving the Water Resilience Initiative within and beyond Europe is an imperative today. We're committed to putting all our efforts into translating our vision for Water-Smart Society into tangible results and actions. 🕊️ In this crucial moment, water professionals can truly serve as the peacemakers our world desperately needs. 🔎To know more, check out our vision: https://lnkd.in/dEZvQrHH #WorldWaterDay #WaterVision #WaterSmartSociety #UNWaterConference #WaterForPeace #WaterInPromotingPeace #WaterResilienceInitiative #WaterEurope #WaterProfessionals #WWD #Worldwaterday2024

💧Water is essential for life and knows no borders. The world contains hundreds of transboundary waters: 313 water basins, about 600 aquifers, and over 300 wetlands. Today, we honor #water as a resource that sustains life and supports economic development and prosperity. This #WorldWaterDay, read the Netherlands’ Special Envoy for International Water Affairs Meike van Ginneken & GEF CEO Carlos Manuel Rodriguez's call for prioritizing public financing for improving cooperation on transboundary water resources.

This week, the 10th World Water Forum is taking place in Bali, Indonesia hashtag #10thWorldWaterForum. In May 2023, we received an invitation from the World Water Council for Inter-American Development Bank to lead the Regional Process of the Americas, in its three lines of action. We have achieved great results: 1️⃣ 💧Dialogues with Governments: More than 48 focal points from the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean provided information for the preparation of subregional reports for the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico, and South America. 2️⃣ 💧Workshops: 6 seminars in which we discussed not only the themes of the Forum but also emerging issues such as the importance of youth and women in the sector, capacity building, transboundary waters, and financial innovation. 3️⃣ 💧Open Call: Nearly 500 applications of best practices in the water sector, and 3 of them will be reflected in a regional report compiled by ECLAC. We thank all the partners and organizations involved in this joint effort. We are a region working together to ensure water security and water as shared prosperity, as this year's theme indicates.
