Transcript: https://www.state.gov/briefings-foreign-press-centers/us-objectives-at-the-united-nations-water-conference The United Nations General Assembly will convene the UN Water Conference March 22-24 in New York City. The conference will be cohosted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of Tajikistan and seeks to “bring stakeholders from all sectors together and create a global momentum for accelerated implementation and improved impact to advance the broad challenges surrounding water,” with the Water Action Agenda expected as the main conference outcome. This is the first global conference on fresh water in nearly 50 years. The first day of the conference, March 22nd, is also World Water Day. The United States is engaging at all levels and working with partners and allies to advance a robust and effective Water Action Agenda that will confront our global water challenges.
