In a one-year-long expert consultation process, UN-Water’s 31 Members from the
United Nations system and 36 international Partners have come together to
analyze what role water could have in the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The
result is a consolidated technical advice from the UN system to Member States to
prioritize water through a dedicated global goal with five interlinked targets.
The proposed goal builds on and extends existing commitments such as the
Millennium Development Goals and the priorities agreed at Rio+20. Its overall
framework universally applicable but responds to particular national
circumstances.
During the Thematic Debate of the General Assembly “Water,
Sanitation and Sustainable Energy In the Post-2015 Development Agenda” on the
18th of February 2014, UN-Water presented the Technical Advice on a Possible
Water Goal.
