It provides a framework for helping countries address freshwater challenges through improved water quality, ecosystem protection and restoration, integrated water resources management, and resilience to climate-related disasters and conflict. The strategy defines the organisation’s leadership role, contributions, and engagement across global, regional, and national levels, emphasising ecosystem-based approaches, transboundary cooperation, capacity development, knowledge sharing, and strategic partnerships. It also aligns freshwater action with the Sustainable Development Goals and broader environmental and development priorities.
