Cooperation between the various structures of the UN system and its conventions should be strengthened to solve water-related issues, Ruth Davis, UK Special Representative for Nature said this at a high-level round table on “Water for Climate: Integrating Water Solutions into NDCs and NAPs. Biodiversity, Water and Climate Linkage", APA reports.
"For many years working in the fields of climate, nature conservation and food security, the interconnection of these issues through water is clear and natural. Water not only ensures the sustainability of these areas, but is also an indicator of emerging problems. It is clear that water plays a key role in ensuring the well-being of all ecosystems. Let me give you an example of its importance to the health of tropical forests. This topic is at the center of the discussions of the UN Convention on Climate Change. The health of tropical forests depends directly on water, and at the same time, forests are an important element of the water cycle. They regulate and provide rainfall that supplies tropical agricultural basins that feed millions of people. Thus, healthy water supports ecosystems, and healthy ecosystems ensure the continuity of the water cycle. In order to achieve this goal, closer cooperation should be established between various structures of the UN system and its conventions," she stressed.
