Our future demands resilience

Achieving effective community adaptation systems for healthy watersheds and well-functioning water services is essential to reduce vulnerability and ensure future availability.

Building resilience through integrated water resource management is critical to mitigating destabilizing climate change impacts.

Collaborating with other countries and multi-sector partners to build capacity is fundamental to building a water-secure world.
