Abstract

People, communities, ecosystems, and systems can anticipate, adapt, and recover from climate change. To align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations for 2030, effective management of water resources must recognise the value of water and incorporate this recognition into decision-making processes [1]. The demand for water resources has experienced a significant increase due to rapid population growth, urbanisation, and increasing water requirements in agriculture, industry, and the energy sector [2,3]. The risks of mismanagement of water can jeopardise lives and disrupt livelihoods, underscoring the urgency of addressing water-related disasters [4]. Sustainable water resource management required climate resilience, focussed on the IAAM's W119 Side Event at the UN 2023 Water Conference in New York. The two-day side event discussed climate change's effects on floods and droughts. In the current era, achieving climate neutrality through national diplomacy is crucial to achieving global sustainability. Unless progress quadruples, billions of people will still lack access to these basic services by 2030. The inadequate state of water treatment facilities, the emergence of new pollutants, and widespread water pollution all contribute to the exacerbation of this problem. Consequently, ensuring water security requires a concerted effort to mitigate the adverse consequences of floods and droughts. The United Nations decade of action on water and sanitation completes the comprehensive review, at the United Nations 2023 Water Conference (2018-2028) [5]. Fig. 1 shows a glimpse of the IAAM’s W119 side event during midterm comprehensive review of the international decade of action, water for sustainable development, 2018-2028. During the UN 2023 Water Conference, the IAAM delegation engaged in exchanges and talks with ministers, political figures, committee members, directors, organisational heads, commissioners, and experts. Achieving sustainable practices in the medium and long term requires the implementation of intelligent strategies that encompass both natural and engineered solutions. By effectively storing water in environmentally friendly and resilient grey infrastructures, we can achieve a harmonious equilibrium between the demand for water and its supply, while considering reasonable economic, ecological, and social implications. Since civilisation began, water withdrawals from aquifers, lakes, streams, river diversions, and damming have altered the water cycle, which plays a crucial role in shaping life on Earth. The current state of flood and drought highlights the crucial importance of better water resource management. It involves building a sustainable water resource capacity and implementing strategies to minimise vulnerabilities, enhance adaptive capacity, and promote sustainable development in the face of a changing climate. Climate resilience refers to the ability of individuals, communities, ecosystems, and systems to anticipate, adapt to, and recover from the impacts of climate change. Effective water resource management must recognize the value of water and incorporate it into decision-making to align with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

在纽约联合国2023年水大会的IAAM W119会外活动中讨论气候适应能力问题
人类、社区、生态系统和系统能够预测、适应并从气候变化中恢复过来。为了与联合国2030年可持续发展目标(SDG)保持一致,有效的水资源管理必须认识到水的价值,并将这一认识纳入决策过程[1]。由于人口快速增长、城市化以及农业、工业和能源部门对水的需求不断增加,对水资源的需求显著增加[2,3]。水管理不善的风险可能危及生命并扰乱生计,这凸显了解决与水有关的灾害的紧迫性[4]。可持续水资源管理需要气候适应能力,这是在纽约举行的联合国2023年水大会上IAAM W119会外活动的重点。为期两天的边会讨论了气候变化对洪水和干旱的影响。在当前时代,通过国家外交实现气候中和对于实现全球可持续性至关重要。除非取得四倍的进展,否则到2030年仍将有数十亿人无法获得这些基本服务。水处理设施的不完善,新污染物的出现,以及广泛的水污染都加剧了这一问题。因此,确保水安全需要协调一致的努力,以减轻洪水和干旱的不利后果。联合国水和环境卫生行动十年在联合国2023水事会议(2018-2028)上完成了全面审查[5]。图1显示了2018-2028年水促进可持续发展国际行动十年中期全面审查期间IAAM W119会外活动的概况。在联合国2023年水大会期间,IAAM代表团与部长、政治人物、委员会成员、董事、组织负责人、专员和专家进行了交流和会谈。实现中期和长期的可持续实践需要实施包含自然和工程解决方案的智能策略。通过将水有效地储存在环境友好且具有弹性的灰色基础设施中,我们可以在考虑合理的经济、生态和社会影响的同时,实现水的需求和供应之间的和谐平衡。自人类文明开始以来,从含水层、湖泊、溪流、河流改道和筑坝中抽取的水改变了水循环,这对塑造地球上的生命起着至关重要的作用。目前的旱涝状况突出了改善水资源管理的至关重要性。它涉及建设可持续的水资源能力和实施战略,以最大限度地减少脆弱性,增强适应能力,并在面临气候变化的情况下促进可持续发展。气候恢复力是指个人、社区、生态系统和系统预测、适应和从气候变化影响中恢复的能力。有效的水资源管理必须认识到水的价值,并将其纳入决策,以与联合国2030年可持续发展目标(SDGs)保持一致。由于人口快速增长、城市化以及生计、农业、工业和能源生产对水的需求不断增加,水需求大幅增加。因此,节约用水和清洁水管理对保护人类福祉至关重要。至关重要的是,在纽约举行的联合国2023年水大会上,IAAM的W119会外活动将重点放在气候适应能力上,以确保水资源利用和资源的可持续管理。在为期两天的会外活动中,各方广泛讨论了气候变化对洪涝和干旱的影响、综合水资源管理、基于自然的解决方案、水-生物多样性关系、技术和创新、社会经济学和自然灾害、国际合作、性别和社会包容、政策和治理、洪水监测和干旱评估等议题。iam先进材料研究所,Gammalkilsvägen 18,瑞典Ulrika 590 53
