Water in the Post-2015 Development Agenda
The UN system is working closely with its Member States and other relevant stakeholders on the Post-2015 Development Agenda and the formulation of new Sustainable Development Goals. It is already clear that cross-cutting issues such as water and energy will play an essential role in the goals and targets beyond 2015, whatever form those might take. An ongoing dialogue is looking closely and deeply at the developments, projections and scenarios in water and related domains, to focus on commonalities and explore how more can be done together to support the international development agenda.
UN-Water, the UN’s inter-agency mechanism for all fresh water and sanitation issues, is central to this discussion as it aims to facilitate the development of policies and crosscutting frameworks that bridge ministries and sectors. To this end, UN-Water is conducting and producing a variety of documents, publications and events in order to help lead the way to their sustainable water use in a green economy.
