UN-Water has started developing an Analytical Brief on water security that would describe the broader set of issues that are of concern to the United Nations and its member states, and describe policy responses by the UN system as well as other actors. Such a document would define the consolidated position of the UN system on water security and identify avenues through which water security concerns could be addressed, including but not limited to the UN Security Council. The dialogue in this Expert Panel is intended to provide direct inputs into the development of the Analytical Brief, which will be launched on the World Water Day 2013.
The Expert Panel will also benefit directly from a high-level UN General Assembly side event organized on the same day focused on water, peace and security. The side event - designed as a foreign ministers roundtable - aims to increase political will to address the challenges associated with managing shared waters. Some of the key questions to be considered include: Where do water challenges pose the most significant threat to development and security? And, how should the global community respond to these threats?
