"Water is a scarce natural resource, which means that the fairness of its allocation needs to be examined. As a result, the point needs to be highlighted that rethinking the management of freshwater resources, in the context of climate change, is undoubtedly a key challenge facing the world. On the other hand, in the last century, no other natural hazard has proved more destructive in terms of material damage or loss of human life than flooding, in spite of the billions of dollars spent on flood management.
I think that balanced investment is needed in managing and improving water capture and storage methods to increase the sustainable and efficient use of water, mitigate the effect of recurrent floods and droughts, and achieve minimum water security. I urge for priority to be given to investments which reduce rural poverty, strengthen resilience and adaptation to climate change, and foster cooperation in the international river basin."@en1
