By demonstrating tangible solutions through Nature-based solutions for water resilient agriculture and urban city resilience the event seeks to inspire more ambitious water action. The aim is to offer a cross-sectoral perspective that moves beyond thematic silos by including non-traditional water voices and the potential for non-state actors to broaden and deepen engagement globally.
This event is part of the Marrakesh Partnership for Global Climate Action.
