For the first time at World Water Forum, the Platform will host a High-level panel on source-to-sea management: Towards joint action by the freshwater and ocean communities (20 March, 14:30-16, Aguas Claras auditorium), with ministers of environment as well as water and sanitation, discussing together with top management representatives from private sector, financing institutions and inter-governmental bodies. This is a unique opportunity to solidify the connections between decision-makers who focus on marine and freshwater issues, and to heighten knowledge about and commitment to, the linkages between SDGs 6 and 14.
