The Water Action Track helps accelerate and scale up water actions in climate adaptation. While 90% of climate change disasters are water related, water adaptation drives resilient solutions: water is the leverage for sustainable climate action! @CASsummit2021
Rebuilding means a real reset, we cannot and should not want to go back. No matter how tough, we have to progress. Responding in a siloed, single focused matter will only make us more vulnerable. #BuildBackBetter@WRIRossCities
Post crisis response too often is aimed at overcoming the current crisis. In this narrow approach we loose track of the complexity of global challenges. We can’t go one-by-one, no way! We have to take on the full 2030 Agenda. Leaving nothing and no one behind! #BuildBackBetter
At the #Roundtable@COP25CL#TimeForAction Building a Resilient Future through Water. 1) By default & disaster the world finally understands that climate change hits us hardest through water: too much, too little, polluted.
2) Understand, value & manage water best and it can be the leverage for inclusive comprehensive impactful change. Investing in water delivers returns outside of the water sector. These interdependencies need to be captured and valued. #TimeForChange@COP25CL
3) the #2030agenda and the #COP21 agreement are one and the same for the future of our planet & society. Water cuts across all, as a dealbreaker but can be the dealmaker. #TimeForChange@COP25CL
