Overview
Since the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) was born in 2016, it has been formally established, endorsed and supported at various international instances. A primary objective of WASAG is to support countries and stakeholders in their commitments and plans related to the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, with particular emphasis on 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’.
As a fast-growing network of more than 70 partners, WASAG has quickly gained momentum in order to jointly address the increasing pressure of global change impacts on water scarcity in agriculture.
