Recognizing that climate change is having an undue toll on our water resources and services, and that managing water security is central to climate adaptation and mitigation solutions, this event will put a spotlight on building resilient water systems as a critical lever for climate action. Representing the first high-level event after the landmark UN 2023 Water Conference, this session will convene Heads of State, MDB Presidents, and other senior officials to follow up on the Conference with concrete commitments, particularly to enable innovation across the water value chain and bridge the water finance gap.
