The Water Imperative for Climate Action: Message to National and Global Leaders Attending COP27

At COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, the Water and Climate Leaders have released a statement that urges heads of state and government to take more integrated water and climate action to replace the existing fragmented approach where water is often seen as a problem rather than water being “part of the solution” to achieve the Paris Agreement goals.

The statement presents three compelling climate benefits of improved water resources management: reducing the impacts of climate-induced disasters, enhancing resilience to climate change, and lowering GHG emissions.
