LEGN participates at the WASAG Technical Preparatory Meeting for the High-level Dialogue on the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture
Rome 29 – 30 April 2024. The Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) is a Partnership hosted by FAO, whose aim is to bring together global experts from different sectors to tackle the collective challenge of using water better in agriculture to ensure food security for all. WASAG fosters collaboration among its partners for the development and deployment of policies, strategies, and programmes, enhancing field capacity for the adaptation of agriculture to water scarcity
The Rome Technical Meeting was convened in order for WASAG partners to prepare for the High-Level Dialogue on WASAG which, together with the Rome Water Dialogue, will take place during the World Food Forum (WFF) in October 2024.
During the initial review of the “Draft Rome Declaration on Water Scarcity in Agriculture”, to be adopted during the High-level Dialogue on the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture in October 2024, LEGN stressed the importance of legal and institutional frameworks in support of the implementation of policy objectives to address water scarcity and other related issues.
LEGN looks forward to supporting WASAG and the Land and Water Division of FAO with its knowledge of legal and institutional frameworks on water management, specifically through its AQUALEX legislative database.
