Aromar Revi | GCEW| Special Briefing session to the 77th UN General Assembly

Aromar Revi Commissioner and Lead Expert of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water (GCEW) presents on ‘Rebalancing the Global Water Cycle as a Common Good’ at a Special Briefing session to the 77th UN General Assembly on 7th February 2023. He makes the case that there is a large unrealised development and economic potential to use water as an organizing principle to accelerate SDG, Climate and Biodiversity implementation. Also that human action embedded in the current global economy has thrown the Global Water Cycle out of balance. Aromar then shows that there is a suite of feasible and effective solutions to the global water crisis. These need to be brought together in each region to enable a set of transitions towards prosperity, human well-being and ecosystem health. He then goes on to show how the global water cycle is Global Common Good and restoring the balance in the water cycle through collective action from the local to the global is in the shared interest of all nations.
