Excellencies, Prime Ministers, Secretary-General, Water friends

It took us almost two generations to stop neglecting our most precious resource, water. In those 47 years, we could have walked back and forth between New York and Mar del Plata eight times. But what matters is that we are here, in New York, at the watershed moment for water, our planet and people. I’d like to thank the excellent teams of Tajikistan and the Netherlands for guiding us to this historic moment. 68 generations ago, Ovid said: everything changes, nothing perishes. He could not have found better words to remind us that the global water cycle is a common good.

Water is the ever-changing, never-stopping cycle that unites us all and transcends cultures, borders and jurisdictions. Yesterday and today, you have laid the foundations to acknowledge that future generations can value water and benefit from the resource. You amazed me over the past three days. I am inspired by the determination that unites us all in the quest to stop wasting water. I commend all of you who reaffirmed that the hydrological cycle that links us all through space and time is finally considered a global common good. And, consequently, we all have our share of responsibility for it.

I am amazed by the ambition and solidarity you show in devising a water-secure future for all. We are constantly moving away from irresponsibly squeezing out ever more water from our aquifers, lakes and rivers. We are consistently moving away from trying to quench the thirst of our economies and our ecosystems at unbearable costs and with catastrophic impact. Rather, we are moving towards an inspiring, cooperative, transboundary, transformative Water Action Agenda for sustainable development and resilience. You have pledged to invest more than 300 billion US dollars into the agenda at this conference.

Your generosity has the potential of unlocking at least one trillion dollars of socioeconomic and ecosystem gains. The outcome of this conference is not a legally binding document, but it still turns the page of history. You have reconfirmed the promise to implement the human rights to water and sanitation for all. That also means reaching the millions who are not even aware that we are meeting here today. We heard the sobering but solution-based voice of science. We will keep our ears and minds open to scientific evidence as we move forward to realize the transformation discussed at the UN 2023 Water Conference.

Civil society and the private sector are at the heart of this transformation. They are here, in New York, at this moment. They are key to our success and must be part of more inclusive partnerships and solutions. Today, we hold the power to create a water-secure and more peaceful world. What does it take to put them together? We need to live up to our commitments in the Water Action Agenda. And we need transformative and determined action. The Secretary-General has just highlighted key game-changers in his speech. Let me highlight and summarize again what has been prominently visible throughout the last days.
