High Level Panel on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
The Human Rights based approach

 

Leaving no one behind is the bedrock of the 2030 Agenda, the internationally agreed collective approach to bring the world closer to the principles of prosperity, equality and sharing enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and human rights treaties.

The human rights-based approach is the UN framework for human development. RASIT and Cansu Global translate this approach into Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), three complementary elements in ensuring that no one is left behind. Equity refers to fairness and justice in the way people are treated so that they all get equal opportunity to live healthy and productive lives. Diversity acknowledges development measures will affect people from different genders, socio-cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds differently. Inclusion refers to the right to participate, irrespective of social status, affiliation, or gender. An EDI lens on development can provide different groups in society with the means and tools that give them equal opportunity in life, allowing and empowering them to participate on an equal footing in development interventions that concern them.

 Statements from leading entities in the field will address the need or necessity of equity, diversity and inclusion to achieve sustainable socio-economic development that leaves no one behind.

Opening Remarks

H.E. Mr. Tijjani Muhammad Bande,
 Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the
United Nations, President of the 74
th Session of the UN General Assembly
 

Conversation 1
Women in Science and Society: Bridging Voices to Action
 

“[…] to find sustainable solutions for the water problems worldwide, we must consider
understanding the cultural dimension and social aspects of water and recognize its fundamental role
in society’s life, prosperity and development.”


--- The late, HRH Prince Mohammad bin King Faisal (I)
El-Hashemite, 1986


 The first Women Water Forum of the Water for Sustainable Development Action Decade, co-organized by RASIT in 2018 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, revealed that women scientists are underrepresented in the water and development domain. Another important conclusion of the Forum was that in order to achieve equitable and sustainable socio-economic development, there is a need for problem-oriented and transdisciplinary research, which connects academic, public and private spaces.

 This Conversation brings together renowned female scientists and experts from different disciplines, viewing water challenges from their respective angles and defining synergies and complementarities for holistic water for sustainable development solutions that face the contemporary challenges.

 “Women in Science for Water and Society” in particular examines the issues of water from a social sciences lens. It will explore:

• Culture and relevant fields of social sciences into water strategies, including management and sustainable solutions;

• Cooperation between local knowledge holders & scientists in finding sustainable solutions to water related problems;

• Cultural dialogue to developing educational & capacity building methods; and,

• Solution-oriented water governance that takes into account all facets of cultural diversity.

Coversation 2
Reviving Peace Through Science-Based Water Diplomacy

 

Fierce competition for fresh water may well become a source of conflict
 and wars in the future.”


-Kofi Anan, 2001

Water crises can shake societies, destroy livelihoods, and threaten prosperity for decades. They can also be the spark that sets aflame a powder keg of social and political issues, resulting in violent conflict. Peace is not just the absence of conflict. It is also the ability to handle potential conflict by peaceful means, such as effective risk-reduction strategies for water scarcity and crisis. This Panel will address water crises as a threat to stability. Scientists, government representatives, water experts, and multiple stakeholders will discuss effective pathways of water diplomacy in the context of the longer-term impacts from climate change, growing populations, and continued digitalization and construction development.

This Conversation will discuss:
How can science inform policy and practice?
• Building capacity in water science diplomacy

 

• Supporting mediation in water disputes
• Preventive diplomacy and transboundary water resources management
• Identification of conditions and proposal of tools to put Science, Technology, and Innovation at the heart of water diplomacy.

Cansu Global Media Room
Moving the Water Conversation Forward

 

Water, Sanitation, Hygiene, and Ocean issues are at the core of sustainable development as they are closely linked to several key global challenges such as energy, food security, health, biodiversity, climate change, among others. Creating awareness and earning commitment from decision-makers and the public for these issues is vital if we are to influence policies and practices that affect the lives of millions – particularly the disadvantaged.

Media play an important role in conveying information and knowledge, which contribute to educating and sensitizing policymakers and the public.

 The Media Room will be open to journalists to talk to women and experts in water-related sciences, as well as UN officials, Member State representatives and advocates for SDG6, highlighting their role in achieving SDG6 and its nexus.

High Level Panel on Investing in Water for Sustainable Development

Water is life and a key enabler for social and economic development. Fresh water is a vulnerable and increasingly scarce and uncertain resource.

 Investing in water for socio-economic development is not only a prerequisite for achieving the transition to equitable and sustainable development, but it will also create multiple wins across the board for human health and well-being as well as the integrity of
the Earth’s vital ecosystems.


 
Opening Remarks

H.E. Mr. Jukka Salovaara,
Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Finland
to the United Nations
 

Conversation 1
Re-Shaping Water Economics for
Inclusive Green Growth
 

Water yields benefits and goods as a renewable natural resource. Its underpinning of economic activity is not factored adequately into conventional economics. Currently, natural resources are being exploited beyond safe planetary limits. Contemporary economic planning needs to integrate the value of natural capital into calculations of value. If this is not done, the risks presented by water scarcity, water pollution and the disruption of the water cycle will increasingly manifest themselves through declining economic production and upsetting of the social order.

Strategic investments in the water sector have the capacity to unlock the economic potential of entire regions, improve livelihoods and boost public health. If the SDG 6 framework were to function as a decision support tool, guiding scarce resources towards priority areas of need, this would enhance its functionality and enhance its adoption and use not only at national level but also at subnational level.

This Conversation will address the following issues:

• What role does water and its nexus have in national economic plans?

• How is STI factored into water economics?

• How are water investments envisaged to facilitate inclusive green growth?

• What reforms are necessary to ensure that water is or remains available, accessible, and affordable for all?

• Recommendations on re-shaping water economics to achieve sustainable, equitable and inclusive green growth.

Conversation 2
Financing Innovative Science and
 Green Technology- Based
Water Solutions and Programs

 

There is no functioning of the economy without water. Water flows from the fields where materials grow, through the complex supply chains and manufacturing facilities, all the way to corporate headquarters. Innovative technologies and support to innovation is essential in the transition towards a more sustainable inclusive and fair green growth. This would be in line with the Glasgow Declaration on the Fair WaterFootprint. In this sense appropriate technologies that transform resource management can help the business sector to significantly reduce its water footprint.

 

This Conversation will deal with the financing of innovative technologies and approaches:

• How to address financing challenges for science-based water solutions for sustainabledevelopment?

• Science-based Water Solutions and Programs for Impact Investment.

• Merging sustainable innovative solutions to existing water projects
and programs.

• Innovation or business as usual: how to strike the Balance?

• How Development Funds balance between innovative solutions and existing knowledge?
