The “United Nations 2023 Water Conference” will convene in New York, from 22 to 24 March 2023, as mandated by the UN General Assembly resolutions 73/226 and 75/212. This conference marks the mid-term of the International Decade for Action, “Water for Sustainable Development”, 2018–2028. Key outcomes of the UN 2023 Water Conference will include the Water Action Agenda – a set of voluntary commitments taken by governments and stakeholders to accelerate implementation towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 6 and other water-related goals and targets (which is currently not on track, according to various SDG indicators). One of the 5 accelerators identified by Un-Water is “Data and information”.
We therefore call upon all organisations holding water data to commit to open water data policies!
