Nearly 50 countries sign Baku declaration on Water for Climate Action
The COP29 Presidency has launched Water for Climate Action Declaration, so far endorsed by nearly 50 countries, which commits to taking integrated approaches to combat the causes and impacts of climate change on water basins, paving the way for greater regional and international cooperation.
It also calls for the integration of water-related mitigation and adaptation measures in national climate policies, including NDCs and NAPs. To support these efforts, signatories will work together to strengthen the generation of scientific evidence on the causes and impacts of climate change on water resources and water basins, including through data sharing and the creation of new basin-wide climate scenarios.
The declaration has been endorsed by prominent non-state actors, including WWF, Water Equity, Stockholm International Water Institute and the Islamic Development Bank.
Inger Andersen, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme said, “As the impacts of the climate crisis become ever more extreme, it has never been more important for the world to manage freshwater ecosystems. The Baku Dialogue on Water for Climate Action launched today at COP29 will help strengthen water priorities within the global climate agenda. UNEP looks forward to working with Member States and the COP29 Presidency to drive this important agenda forward.”

Inger Andersen, Executive Director, UNEP, and Mukhtar Babayev, COP 29 President, hold their signed Letters of Intent for the Baku Dialogue on Water for Climate Action.
