UNICEF MENARO, League of Arab States (LAS), and FAO organized a High-Level Meeting on Water Scarcity on November 17 within the 13th session of the Arab Ministerial Water Council (AMWC). This event aimed to increase visibility of the water scarcity crisis in the region by providing a multi-sectoral forum to examine challenges and opportunities. Various recommendations arose from the special session related to strengthening the enabling environment to address water scarcity.

Building on the momentum from COP26, MENA Climate Week, and the High Level Meeting on water scarcity, this session, co-convened by UNICEF MENA Regional Office and SIWI will focus on how well the enabling environment is setup to tackle water scarcity in MENA, including financing (e.g., climate finance etc.) and valuation (e.g., tariffs, water conservation and reuse etc.) aspects.

The session will be a mix of keynotes, presentations, panel discussion and country case studies. Speakers will be high level representatives from the co-convening organizations, their partners from multiple sectors (Water Resources, Climate, and Environment), and from relevant countries. An emphasis will be put on how joint efforts can be strengthened and accelerated for strengthening the enabling environment to tackle water scarcity, including through better valuing water.
