正文(英文) | The Global Water & Sanitation Partnership’s work over the past year has focused on helping countries respond to the water-related challenges of COVID-19 and climate change, and ultimately make progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2021 Annual Report is out now and available here.
Low-income countries are particularly hard hit by these changes in the water cycle, leading to increased food insecurity and migration. Here, too, the solution lies in water: better planning and investment, better management and use, and better mitigation and adaptation responses. The World Bank Group is focused on helping countries find solutions to their sustainable development challenges. It has mounted the largest crisis response in its history to help developing countries strengthen their capacity to deal with the pandemic. This response includes a framework for supporting green, resilient, and inclusive development that addresses both the devastation wrought by COVID-19 and the longer-term challenge of climate change. The Bank has also released an ambitious Climate Change Action Plan that aims to increase climate finance to reduce emissions, strengthen climate change adaptation, and align financial flows with the goals of the Paris Agreement. These efforts will help put countries on a path to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Water is the great connector in the context of today’s development challenges. The World Bank’s Water Global Practice works across sectors to support our clients in delivering water for people, production, and the planet. As shown in its recently released annual report, the Global Water Security & Sanitation Partnership Despite the very real impact of the pandemic, the GWSP’s work continued and even intensified over the past year as we found ways to overcome constraints, work closely with our partner countries, and build on our previous successes. Our cutting-edge work on water and the circular economy, water storage, and water services will shape our efforts in the coming years. Inclusion is a priority that flows into every aspect of our work. The water challenge will not be solved until every person is included in society and is able to take an active role in finding common solutions. The GWSP’s focus on inclusion took center stage during the past year, influencing the global agenda for gender equality in the water workplace and leading to better management. As a result, many of our country partners have made inclusion more central to their work. Our work in countries affected by fragility, conflict, and violence continues to grow, from innovative approaches to water and sanitation in the Dominican Republic, to a timely study of water resilience in Kiribati, to the building of much-needed capacity in Somalia. Working towards a green, resilient, and inclusive future is not easy, but the burden is lighter when shared. The work we do in the water sector is not possible without strong collaboration with partners at national, regional, and global levels, and we are committed to deepening these engagements in future as we tackle tomorrow’s challenges together. |
