United-Nations Water Conference 2023
22-24 March 2023, New York
Dear members,
The UN 2023 Water Conference that will be held from 22-24 March in New York City will provide an opportunity for all types of actors ranging from local and regional governments to national governments, civil society and stakeholders and others to ensure that their actions move towards protecting access to water and sanitation as a human right and can be scaled and replicated in the years to come.
The local and regional government constituency gathered in the Global Taskforce, facilitated by UCLG, plans to hold different activities during the conference.
