Towards stronger implementation of integrated water resources

ESCWA and UNEP-DHI Centre on Water and Environment organized a webinar on 26 July to discuss the progress in the implementation of the integrated water resources management (IWRM) in the Arab region based on the relevant 2021 Status Report.

Participants discussed key enablers for accelerating the implementation of IWRM. National experiences were also shared, encouraging countries to initiate a robust consultation mechanism for the next reporting round in 2023 on SDG indicator 6.5.1, which tracks the degree of integrated water resources management.

Countries were also informed by GWP-Mediterranean about the support available for reporting, developing an action plan, and implementation.
