Principles of good governance at different water governance levels
- Share to:
In UNESCO’s scientific programme global climate change is a cen- tral theme. More specifically Water is an important theme, not only because of climate variability and change but also because of mounting pressure on water systems and water resources due to the increasing world population and a growing middle class.
A central issue for the water sector is: how do you get out of the ‘water box’? How to get the water professionals’ analysis of water problems and solutions on the political agenda? An important con- dition to achieve this is the competency of water professionals and others involved to make connections between different perspec- tives: water in relation to other issues, water as a technical issue versus water as a governance issue, and water from different angles, such as the cultural perspective.
The UNESCO partners in the Netherlands support this transfor- mation, and thus contribute to UNESCO's goal to achieve sustain- able solutions for water-related problems in the context of climate change. By highlighting the social and behavioral science dimen- sions of water, UNESCO Netherlands contributes to UNESCO’s functions as a clearing house and a laboratory of ideas. In this broader context (future) problems are identified and solutions are explored. The broad vision on water will be communicated through UNESCO’s global network to (future) water professionals and pol- icy-makers
