Source to Sea (S2S) approach: from methodology to practice
This side event, organized in the framework of the UN 2023 Water Conference in New York, will discuss solutions to accelerate actions to achieve SDGs by 2030 and increase political support on transboundary water cooperation.
Transboundary waters account for 60 percent of the world’s freshwater flows, hence the need for cooperation and recognition of mutually supportive roles in their management.
The Source to Sea (S2S) approach is a dynamic interface between land and oceans that provides an opportunity for integrated planning that optimizes the implementation of integrated water resources management while preserving natural resources and generating environmental socio-economic benefits for current and future generations with a special focus on indigenous, women and youth.
