Conference - ‘Special Session on lake management’ at the UN 2023 Water Conference

A Special Session of the UN 2023 Water Conference by UNEP World Water Quality Alliance Ecosystem Workstream on ‘From UNEA to the General Assembly: Sustainable Lake Management - a catalyst to accelerate global commitment to the Water Action Agenda'.

The event highlighted the protection, conservation, restoration and sustainable use of lakes, wetlands and other inland freshwater ecosystems, in an integrated management of the entire basin or watershed, while addressing aspects of water pollution, degraded land, poverty, and others. It highlighted the diverse values stemming from those efforts into ecosystem services and benefits for food, health, energy, biodiversity, climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction, livelihoods, and other economic and social co-benefits.

The event was endorsed by Inger Andersen - Exec Director of UNEP, who highlights the importance of sustainable lake management here.
