Translating Urgency Into Action on Water, Climate, and Security
“We need to devote our full attention to the relationship between water, climate, and security, increase understanding of the issue, and take urgent action,” said Carola van Rijnsoever, Director of Inclusive Green Growth at the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a recent Hague roundtable on building a transatlantic coalition for climate action on water and security challenges in countries of risk.
“It’s time to move past the talking and develop practices, and put the practices into play,” said Sharon Burke, Senior Advisor and Director of the Resource Security group at New America. One way to achieve this is by expanding a community of practice that can show tangible results about how this partnership advances the security of our peoples, she said.
