FAO welcomed today the adoption of the Rome Declaration on Water Scarcity in Agriculture aimed at addressing water scarcity increasingly exacerbated by the climate crisis – one of the world’s greatest challenges affecting global food security, natural resources and the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, particularly in vulnerable regions.
The Declaration was adopted by Ministers, Heads of Delegations and partners of the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) gathered in Rome on occasion of the High-Level Rome Water Dialogue, taking place on the sidelines of FAO’s annual World Food Forum. The WASAG initiative was launched at the United Nations Climate Conference in Marrakesh in 2016 to support countries in addressing water scarcity challenges.
The Declaration highlights the urgency to address water scarcity and water stress, in particular, in the agriculture and food sectors; and it commits to strengthening collaboration at all levels and mobilizing greater political support and resources to address the effects of water scarcity on global food security. It also recognizes FAO’s key role in continuing to lead and host WASAG and in providing day-to-day support for its effective functioning and operational management.
