OVERVIEW

Water is the resource most affected by climate change. The finite global water resources are under stress as demands continue to mount up due to population increase with their development needs. The situation in arid and semi-arid regions is becoming more critical where water scarcity is escalating compounded with the effects of climate change. To secure water for societies, there is a dire need to consider the use of alternative water resources. The solution has been found to be in variety of non-conventional Water Resources (NCWR) that can be used in different context.

NCWR, such as desalinated water, treated industrial and domestic wastewater, agricultural drainage water, brackish groundwater, and water gained through water harvesting, are alternative water resources that require special treatment to be safely used. A wider and more targeted use of NCWR has the potential to close the supply-demand gap, to sustain basic water needs for societies, to help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and assist Arab countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Governments, inter-governmental organizations, financial institutions, private sector and the civil society representatives need to engage in multi-stakeholder dialogue that speed-up climate actions in the water sector through implementing NCWR projects to help in achieving sustainable development, reduce poverty, and improve livelihood of all Arab people.

Within this context, the Arab Water Council has taken the lead to organize an Arab Water Convention under the general theme “Non-Conventional Water Resources: Business Opportunities” to be held in Dubai, UAE, during the period 20-21 February 2023.

The Convention will create a platform to bring together all interested parties to embark on implementing the recommendations and decisions emerging from COP27. A special focus will be the adaptation of the water sector to climate change through implementing the needed measures, including NCWR projects, and encouraging an immediate mobilization of public and private investments to remove funding barriers and execute actionable climate plans.
