We have delivered enough speeches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">And we all have agreed on the urgent need to accelerate implementation, most recently during the ominous Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Water Conference in March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">I am here today to call for a radical transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Of words into deed. Of promises into measurable, visible action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">A cooperative water-secure future for all starts with us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Here in this room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">It starts with clear-eyed political will to move the dial towards economic intelligence and cultural inclusion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">It starts with recognition of what led us to the water crisis \u2013 and understanding that we will need integrated solutions to sustainably manage our world\u2019s precious water resources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">As our master of ceremonies, Ms. Guli has seen first-hand, people on the frontlines of this water crisis are imploring us to solve it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Shared by all of us, the water cycle is a global common good \u2013 a fact we must acknowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">This is what we should place at the core of our efforts to adapt policy, legislation and financing, accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We know we cannot fulfil our 2030 promise of economic stability and global well-being by only accelerating conventional solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We need to hear brave ideas, and unconventional ones, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We have to learn from the innovative case studies underway across the world, and <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We should build partnerships which are more inclusive and rep of the needs to be met<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">And we must build on our steps on scientific evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">At the Water Conference, as you may recall, world leaders pledged to move towards an \u201cinspiring, cooperative, transboundary and transformative\u201d Water Action Agenda for sustainable development and resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Over those three days, we laid the foundations for future generations to value water and to benefit from its bounty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We re-committed to uphold the human right to water and sanitation for all \u2013 and to reach the millions of people who are suffering the adverse effects of the water crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">The Water Conference outcomes were mandated to inform the High-Level Political Forum for Sustainable Development \u2013 the critical work we are undertaking now in this room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Imagine what we can accomplish today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Imagine the difference we can make for tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">This special event is our single best chance to turn what is discussed at the Conference into a toolbox of multilateral solutions \u2013 and to position water as a centrepiece for action at the SDG Summit in September.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">The Netherlands, Tajikistan and Senegal have led efforts on a Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ resolution to follow up on the Water Conference outcomes and I commend their determined pursuit of this opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Thank you very much, indeed, to all of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">It is critical that we have a dedicated policy development platform for water at the United Nations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">A mechanism that allows us to produce mandated guidance and decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">And let use the game-changers that emerged from the Water Conference as the basis to transform water cooperation in these last five years of the Water Action Decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We have the means to deliver fast and effective results at increased scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">The SDG6 Global Acceleration Framework is a best-in-class blueprint for synchronising our work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">It needs one implementation plan based on the awareness that a water-secure future is one global challenge with many regional and local characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">As you may have noticed, today\u2019s panels are organised around its five building blocks, namely:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Governance<\/span><\/u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">. This means strengthened collaboration, within countries and across boundaries and sectors, between Member States and stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We aspire to solve the world\u2019s water challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We can do so through a systemic, whole-of society approach that addresses challenges in relation to cross-sectoral benefits, the positive externalities that we can research and leverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">This translates to more support for water, climate, food and related policy integration at national and regional levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Second, innovation<\/span><\/u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">. It is vital to empower stakeholders to participate in water-sector innovation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">By creating space, policy, a regulatory environment and a market for innovation, we can make financing and sustainable water systems accessible for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">And we can do this while developing a business case for sustainable development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Third, data and information<\/span><\/u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">. Data generation, validation, standardization and open information exchange build trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">They help leaders to arrive at informed decisions, increase accountability and ensure that financing is directed to the most vulnerable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">The Global Water Information System will integrate data relevant to SDG6 \u2013 making such information freely accessible, consistent and interoperable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">This system directly supports the Early Warnings for All initiative to protect people from the impacts of disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Fourth, capacity development<\/span><\/u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">. Inclusive human and institutional capacities will improve services, technology and job creation at all levels. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">In addition, a global science-based assessment \u2013 similar to the IPCC model \u2013 can help decision makers address water challenges which span sectors, systems and disciplines in a truly integrative manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">A global network of water training centres will foster the creation of a diverse and educated work force, equipped with the latest skills to handle myriad water challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Finally, financing<\/span><\/u><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">. Optimised financing is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We can improve service delivery by better targeting existing resources and mobilizing additional funding from domestic and international sources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">For this, we need an all-hands-on deck approach, linking finance across all sectors related to climate, food security and biodiversity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">And we need to reframe the economic costs of pushing our water cycle out of balance in terms that everyone understands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We should also support a water-secure future by augmenting water storage and attempting to decelerate the hydrological cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">Dear colleagues, Dear friends,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">As you will see from our discussions today, we have the bold ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We also know that the costs of inaction far outweigh the price of proactive investments we make to bring our global water cycle back into balance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">We must now move from reactive water management to proactive, science-based solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">I look forward to hearing your ideas and I hope that today\u2019s discussions will yield actionable results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"white\">I thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Csaba\u00a0K\u0151r\u00f6si, President of the 77th session of the General Assembly &#8212;- High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development Special Event on SDG6 and the Water Action Agenda 17 July 2023 (As [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":361,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"Csaba K\u0151r\u00f6si, President of the 77th session of the General Assembly\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\nMessage on the 75th anniversary of the World Health Organization (WHO)\r\n\r\n7 April 2023\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOn this World Health Day, I congratulate WHO on its 75th anniversary.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOver the course of its history, WHO has contributed to landmark achievements in public health, including the eradication of smallpox, the near eradication of polio and the expansion of childhood immunization, saving millions of lives.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMore recently, WHO has played a key role in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and helped galvanise the most complex vaccination campaign in history. Time and again, WHO has proved that investing in science lies at the heart of reaching our objective of a healthy and prosperous future.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHowever, the pandemic has disrupted essential health services in most of the countries, shortened life expectancy, and halted progress towards universal health coverage.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHalfway through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we must redouble our efforts to achieve its goals. \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAs we prepare for the upcoming high-level meetings on health in the General Assembly, let us seize this opportunity to reconfirm our collective pledges and chart new pathways for a healthy and sustainable future.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nOn this day and every day, let us commit to achieve Health for All.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[642],"class_list":["post-254881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-statements","tag-pga-remarks-to-7th-ministerial-conference-on-environment-and-health","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
