"We have experienced the driest period of the last 30 years. Its impacts are deep and economic. This leads to wide-scale effects on food systems, transportation, and clean energy production," Mary Creagh, the UK's Minister for Nature, said during her speech at the High-Level Launch Event “Celebrating Water’s Lifeline for Climate, Nature, and People” held within the framework of COP29, APA reports.
She noted that, in this regard, the UK supports countries in increasing climate change resilience related to water through its Water Security for a Just Transition program.
"Through AGWA, the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation, and Water Tracker, countries from Brazil to Malawi, Egypt to Nepal are integrating food, water, and energy into climate, nature, and development plans. In Nigeria, through the Resilient Water Accelerator, stakeholders come together to manage policy and market reforms for sustainable water resource management. In Peru, through the Fair Water Footprint Partnership, the private sector and civil society are jointly increasing responsibility by completing their delivery plans. The UK is proud to be involved in this important work," the minister added.
