"From Pledge to Practise" presentation
During the UN 2023 Water Conference in March, IUCN NL, Tropenbos International and WWF organised the event ‘From Pledge to Practice: a roadmap towards action with guidelines for implementing the Freshwater Challenge and the UN Water Action Agenda’. The session aimed to further develop the roadmap together with CSOs, companies, and governmental institutions. Especially for NWP Members, Jan Willem den Besten from IUCN will present the highlights of the event "From Pledge to Practice".
In the run-up to the UN 2023 Water Conference, governments and others made commitments, such as the Freshwater Challenge and the pledges under the UN Water Action Agenda. The guest speaker will explain the Freshwater Challenge, and how to ensure an inclusive approach and address nature and climate change at the same time. After the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussions.
