The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has released a new strategic document outlining its freshwater-related priorities for implementing UNEP’s Medium-Term Strategy (MTS), 2022-2025. These aim to galvanize urgent understanding, prioritization and action for water worldwide.  Produced by the Inter-Divisional Water Group, a community of practice across UNEP, the document describes what and how freshwater issues help meet the water-related Sustainable Development Goal and address the three interlinked planetary crisis in the MTS.
