背 景
水资源短缺是二十一世纪最大的挑战之一,对农业部门而言尤其如此。干旱已经成为世界许多地区农作物歉收和脆弱国家面临严重粮食不安全危机的主要原因。到2050年,世界人口将达到100亿左右,我们需要在2012年基础上将粮食产量提高50%,这需要多消耗至少20%的水(《2011年土地及水资源状况》)。不断变化的降雨模式和气候变暖危及世界各地农民和人民的粮食安全和生计。
为应对上述挑战,由粮农组织主持的伙伴关系“全球农业水资源短缺框架”(WASAG)于2016年11月在摩洛哥马拉喀什举行的《联合国气候变化框架公约》(《气变公约》)缔约方大会第二十二届会议上正式启动,随后于2017年1月获得83位主管农业的部长的批准。
在2023年2月于佛得角普拉亚举行的第二届“全球农业水资源短缺框架”国际论坛上,通过 “普拉亚行动呼吁”,与会者建议:i) 邀请所有成员国成为“全球农业水资源短缺框架”的合作伙伴;ii) 将指定一个成员国担任“全球农业水资源短缺框架”的主席,从佛得角开始;iii) 粮农组织每两年在罗马总部与所有成员国举行一次关于“全球农业水资源短缺框架”的对话;iv) 每隔两年在普拉亚举行一次“全球农业水资源短缺框架”论坛,为合作伙伴和利益相关方提供空间,分享应对农业水资源短缺问题的方案和进展。
为响应这些建议,粮农组织在联合国2023年水事会议上将“全球农业水资源短缺框架”作为其对全球《水资源行动议程》的八项承诺之一,将水资源短缺和“全球农业水资源短缺框架”提交罗马水资源对话和粮农组织大会第四十三届会议,建立了粮农组织区域间水资源短缺问题技术网络,调动资源并实施区域水资源短缺应对举措,如亚洲及太平洋区域水资源短缺应对计划和近东及北非区域水资源短缺应对举措。此外,启动了关于“应对农业和环境缺水问题”增值影响领域的初步活动,目前正在制定四个全球项目提案,以促进耐旱和营养性本地作物应对缺水问题。
现提议于2024年4月29-30日在罗马粮农组织总部举办“推进‘全球农业水资源短缺框架’高级别对话 — 技术筹备会议”活动。这次技术活动将为2024年10月“世界粮食论坛”期间举行的“全球农业水资源短缺框架”高级别对话和罗马水资源对话做准备。这两项活动将巩固和扩大 “全球农业水资源短缺框架”伙伴关系,提高其知名度、投入度和影响力。
目 标
此次“推进‘全球农业水资源短缺框架’高级别对话 — 技术筹备会议”活动将有如下目标:
1. 筹备将于2024年10月“世界粮食论坛”期间举行的“全球农业水资源短缺框架”高级别对话;
2. 加强合作和动员承诺,使“全球农业水资源短缺框架”更具影响力和实效;商定“全球农业水资源短缺框架”的主要运作机制;
3. 分享各国应对水资源短缺问题的经验和知识,以及粮农组织的相关全球和区域举措;
4. 就应对农业水资源短缺问题的优先重点提出建议,并向即将举办的世界水周和世界水论坛等与全球水资源有关的进程提出建议。
预期成果
1. 为支持粮农组织《2022-2031年战略框架》的实施,建议“全球农业水资源短缺框架”在2025-2031年期间的优先重点;
2. 建议在2024年10月之前设立一个由成员领导的“全球农业水资源短缺框架”指导委员会;
3. 分享应对农业水资源短缺问题的知识和经验;
4. 一份《农业水资源短缺问题罗马宣言》草案,将提交“全球农业水资源短缺框架”高级别对话会议通过。
预期参会人员
• 常驻粮农组织代表处的代表和专家。
• 区域组织的代表。
• 其他政府间机构和国际组织的代表。
• 联合国机构的代表。
• 学术界、民间社会组织、用水户、农民协会和私营部门组织的代表。
