Synopsis (short abstract) Following its launch during the UNFCCC’s COP21 in Marrakech Morocco in November 2016, the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) has steadily received recognition and mandate to support countries in finding solutions to cope with climate change in agriculture in the face of climate change. In April 2017, a meeting of Partners agreed to establish a WASAG partnership to be hosted by FAO to advance the mandate of the Framework. Emerging from its foundational years, WASAG held its first international forum with the theme Leaving no one behind from 19 to 22 March 2019 in Praia, Cabo Verde, where the partners – under the leadership of the six WASAG working groups – developed and adopted the Praia Commitments. With the contribution of its 70 partners, WASAG has since developed its strategy for 2021-2024. WASAG is set to further play a greater role in developing collaborative actions as solutions to the increasing challenges posed by climate change and the resulting water scarcity, in order to make agriculture more resilient. The second WASAG international forum, which is again hosted by the Government of Cabo Verde provides the setting for this step.

The Global Framework for Action to Cope with Water Scarcity in Agriculture in the Context of Climate Change (in short, the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture, WASAG) has been designed to bring together key players across the globe and from different sectors to tackle the collective challenge of using water better in agriculture to ensure food security for all. It is a Partnership hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and consisting of government agencies, international organizations, research institutions, advocacy groups and professional/membership organizations. WASAG fosters collaboration among its partners for the development and deployment of policies, strategies, and programmes, enhancing field capacity for the adaptation of agriculture to water scarcity.

The growing demand for food is increasing the pressure on land and water resources globally. By 2050, global agriculture will need to produce almost 50 percent more food, feed and biofuel than it did in 2012 to meet global demand. To meet this demand, stakeholders from around the world must ensure the sustainable management of land, soil and water, which is essential to maintaining the productivity and resilience of agrifood systems. During his visit to the Kingdom of Thailand in early 2024, the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Qu Dongyu, proposed the establishment of an International Soil and Water Forum to serve as a global platform to raise awareness and collectively identify solutions for sustainable land, soil and water management as fundamental for achieving food security and the SDGs. International Soil and Water Forum 2024 is a 3-day event from December 9-11, 2024, and will feature Ministerial Dialogues and a variety of plenary sessions, in addition to thematic, side and special/partner events dedicated to specific themes within the intersection of land, soil, and water in the changing climate. This information note offers background information and logistics for attendees.
