Contributions of WASAG to the SDGs
WASAG has been designed to bring together key players across the globe and from different sectors to tackle the collective challenge of using water better in agriculture to ensure food security for all.
WASAG works towards supporting countries in achieving the water-related goals of the 2030 Agenda, in particular on the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 6 ‘Clean water and sanitation’ and SDG 2 ‘Zero hunger’. WASAG also contributes to the attainment of SDG 1 ‘No poverty’, SDG 3 ‘Good health and well-being’, SDG 5 ‘Gender equality’, SDG 12 ‘Responsible consumption and production’, SDG 13 ‘Climate action’, SDG 15 ‘Life on land’, and SDG 17 ‘Partnerships for the goals’.
It is an initiative for partners from all fields and backgrounds to collaborate in supporting countries and stakeholders in their commitments and plans related to the Paris Climate Agreement (including implementing nationally determined contributions) and other plans and programmes related to agriculture and water such as the Global Programme on Sustainable Dryland Agriculture.
