Where is the water in COP17?
Water is one of the most pressing aspects of climate change, yet, somehow, it is barely addressed in international policy. The youth call for water and oceans as priorities within the UNFCCC.
We want to see: dedicated dialogue on freshwater resources,thematic windows in finance, prioritizing areas where water is most susceptible to the impacts of climate change, dedicated dialogue on ocean acidification, and water included in all other discussions.
Do not undervalue water and leave future COPs thirsty.
