This year's theme for the celebration of World Water Day is "Accelerate Change", and it has to do with actions that contribute to accelerating the achievement of SDG 6. This, recognizing that to achieve it, collaborative work and alliance is needed, together with the identification of contributions from each sector and from each actor.
the Regional Forum "Accelerate the change towards SDG 6" was held on March 2nd, within the framework of the General Assembly of Members of GWP Central America. Governments, NGOs and academia, among other sectors, participated in the event, with a marked presence of Central American countries. With all of them, a roadmap was planned, aligned with the objectives of the United Nations Water Conference in New York (March 22-24, 2023), calling for the different sectors to get involved.
On this occasion, ECLAC took the opportunity to present the different actions that are being carried out to accelerate compliance with SDG 6.
