You write : “I like talks that result in concrete cooperation between different parties that put down on paper what they will do, when, and where.” And I fully agree with your view. This UN conference in NYC led to advancements in treating water and wastewater and that’s one aim reached ! Bravo and thanks for all your involvements.
Thank you for your straightforward words of wisdom: "water is a common good."
Thanks too for making the striking point that "before this TRT segment is over, two children will have likely died from lack of clean water."
As duly noted, the issue is solvable if we just have the political will and leadership to take the right action. It is so frustrating to be in the U.S. where politicians waste time and taxpayer funds to manufacture "culture wars" and ban books instead of spending time and money on resolving real matters of (dire) consequence, like clean water.
600 commitments and counting. That sounds very encouraging. Thank you for adding the link to "Turning the tide". I hope we really are - turning the tide! It does feel like more is happening now than at/after other conferences. Are people and by people I mean governments and businesses finally waking up?
Your commitment to water💦 and the goals of this conference are evident in retrospect in so many of your communications on Substack and elsewhere. I was very impressed with the level of sophistication of all participants at the conference and the outcomes, particularly the projects submitted for funding by young people. While they will be affected the most (as children are today) these young scholars must be commended for their dedication to a subject that is not prevalent in the MSM, other than in terms of extreme weather events. Congratulations to you and the other diplomats from the Netherlands and and King Willem for your generosity in action and funding. While your co-sponsor was Tajikistan, and of course the United Nations, I suppose I recognized more clearly the Netherlands contingent as the conference proceeded (just me I expect!). Work well done and now objectives to fulfill; so very pleased for you all! And The Planet 🌍. 💦😊🕊️A remarkably successful “reboot” of SDG #6.
