JOIN US IN ADVANCING GLOBAL WATER RESILIENCE AT THE HISTORIC UN 2023 WATER CONFERENCE | | |
|
Water crisis is a critical global challenge that requires immediate action from all sectors of society. The UN 2023 Water Conference—the first since 1977—presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance water on the global agenda. The Conference will take place at UN Headquarters in New York, March 22-24, 2023.
Recognized for its thought leadership, the Pacific Institute will play many critical roles at the UN Water Conference. We will convene the private sector to support the Business Leaders’ Open Call to Accelerate Action on Water and provide thought leadership and public sessions on water conflict as well as water efficiency and reuse.
As we anticipate the UN 2023 Water Conference, our latest blog, authored by Pacific Institute thought leaders Dr. Amanda Bielawski, Jason Morrison, Mai-Lan Ha, Dr. Peter Gleick, and Heather Cooley, presents an opportunity to reflect on this unprecedented opportunity to speed water resilience progress looking toward 2030.
