Source-to-sea approach combines water management and sustainability goals

The UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe organised a high-level Regional Dialogue in Venice, Italy, focused on water management in South-East Europe and the Mediterranean through a source-to-sea approach. The event brought together stakeholders from academic institutions, ministries, UNESCO programs, and international experts. The discussions addressed challenges in implementing a source-to-sea approach, emphasising the need for collaboration, breaking down barriers, and engaging local organisations to address climate change, promote sustainable blue businesses, and bridge Sustainable Development Goals 6 (clean water and sanitation) and 14 (life below water).
