Launch of latest stocktake of SDG 6 | Highlights of GWP events | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday
The theme, Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future, recognises the regional and global interconnectivity of communities and nations and underscores the collaborative effort needed to achieve a peaceful and sustainable water future.
As a multi-stakeholder partnership active around the globe, GWP is in a unique position to foster cooperation over water, across sectors. Our interventions span from basin, region, continent to global, supporting action on the ground, enhancing water governance, developing capacity, mobilising investments and fostering knowledge generation and sharing.
“Water and peace are inextricably bound to each other, so this theme is always relevant, not least now, in these difficult times in many places around the world”, said Alan AtKisson in his statement on World Water Day. “Achieving a globally secure world is completely dependent on achieving global water security”.
Launch of latest stocktake of SDG 6
This year’s World Water Week will also see the launch of the latest stocktake of SDG 6, the third, after 2018 and 2021. This has been a huge effort for GWP, both globally and throughout the network. In particular, through the SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme, GWP contributed significantly to the monitoring of SDG 6.5.1, on the degree of implementation of integrated water resources management (IWRM). Under the leadership of UNEP, in support of the monitoring effort, GWP directly facilitated multi-stakeholder consultations in 67 countries, bringing together almost 2700 stakeholders, as well as being part of the team that drafted the status report, which will be presented during this year’s World Water Week. The GWP network also contributed to monitoring and progress reporting efforts on a number of other SDG 6 indicators, the results of which will also be announced in Stockholm.
