The Future We Want: Water for All, Climate Resilience and Green GrowthDr Ania Grobicki, Executive Secretary, Global Water Partnership (GWP)Credit: GWP070 water

As the world leaders seek "new" solutions to global challenges, they need to pay attention to an "age old" issue central to development: better water management. As was true 20 years ago in Rio, it is true today: "water resources management as part of the environment is part of the solution for sustainable development".Water and development are inseparable. This was a key message in the 1987 Brundtland report Our Common Future: "The environment and development are inseparable". Leaders at all levels now need to do the obvious: increase investments in the management and development of water resources. ?water 071
