The third edition of the Regional Water Dialogues will be held in a hybrid way (onsite and virtual) in Santiago de Chile between February 1 and 3, 2023. The main theme will be to accelerate the compliance of SDG 6 and achieve a sustainable and inclusive transition for water.

The Regional Water Dialogues are a great opportunity to connect with experts, professionals, and decision makers in the field of water resources, being the perfect place to share the knowledge that the different organizations are generating in LAC.

Therefore, the event will include a space to present initiatives that contribute to the acceleration of SDG 6. These can come from the public, academic or private spheres, as well as from international organizations or NGOs. Specifically, the request points out towards actions and solutions that are being carried out in the Region, whether in terms of integrated water resources management, nature-based solutions, transboundary water management, adoption of the water, energy and food Nexus approach, promoting circular economies in water, gender and water inclusion, or increased resilience and adaptation to climate change.

If you are working or are part of one of them, we invite you to send a summary of the initiative of 700 words maximum, by October 15, to the email drn@cepal.org, indicating as subject "Brainstorming solutions: Title”.

    Advances in the ROSA Project: Network and Observatory for Water Sustainability - Year 2: April 2024 - January 2025

    Since its inception, the ROSA Project (Regional Network and Observatory for Water Sustainability) has been tasked with addressing the so-called "water and sanitation crisis in Latin America and the Caribbean." One of its main strategies has been to contribute to accelerating the achievement of SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation). However, the region generally lacks reliable statistics and information on water management, governance, and environmental aspects. Additionally, there is fragmentation of existing information across various national institutions, as well as unequal capacities among countries to report on sustainable water resource management indicators. Consequently, the main objective of the ROSA Project has been to strengthen the capacities of countries in the region to generate and use timely, reliable, and standardized information to promote effective policies and instruments for sustainable water management in a changing environment amid the challenges of climate change.
