The Thematic Consultation on Water in the post-2015 development agenda is now open, waiting for your inputs on the www.worldwewant2015.org/water website.
The water consultation is part of the UN-system led “global dialogue” comprising of 50-100 Country Consultations and eleven global Thematic Consultations, including one on water. The water consultation is mainly taking place as an online discussion using different social media. The purpose is to bring voices from a broad range of stakeholders to build consensus around key future challenges related to water and the need for a new global water goal in the post-2015 development agenda..
The thematic consultation on water is divided in three sub-consultations:
- Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)
- Water resources
- Wastewater management and water quality
Starting today (Jan 14th) and proceeding for the next 5 weeks, the three thematic sub-consultations below will be holding in-depth e-discussions. This will be followed by a 2-week consultation exploring the linkages between the themes and will be fed into the intergovernmental process to develop Post 2015 Sustainable Development Goals.
You can also participate through social media via
Twitter using the hashtag #waterpost2015 or visit the
Facebook page WaterPost2015.
The outcome from the different discussions will be summarised into policy recommendations in a final report that will be transmitted to the High-level Panel on Post-2015 appointed by the UN Secretary General at the end of March.
