Water Peace at Home Water Peace in the World
Most people will first experience climate impacts through water, making water security a key component in combatting the climate crisis that truly puts nature, people, lives, and livelihoods at the heart of climate action. USG principals will provide concrete examples of water interventions directly leading to improved adaptation and mitigation efforts and make specific recommendations for action by highlighting U.S. programs and deliverables on water globally. Highlighting applications and implementation of the White House Action Plan on Global Water Security and the U.S. Global Water Strategy, this event will emphasize the vital role fresh water plays in adaptation and mitigation as well as the unique and cross-cutting role water plays in agriculture, food security, infrastructure, early warning systems, scientific modeling, and biodiversity and nature through multilevel action.
