　　各國(guó)必須進(jìn)行水資源合作

　　全世界約有7.7億人口沒有清潔用水，25億人口缺少基本的衛(wèi)生條件。如果這一現(xiàn)狀繼續(xù)下去，截止2025年，全世界近一半的人口，即30億人將生活在水資源緊張狀態(tài)，導(dǎo)致饑餓、疾病、可預(yù)防的死亡及戰(zhàn)事的增加。

　　聯(lián)合國(guó)開發(fā)計(jì)劃署副主任雷貝卡格林斯潘說，全世界不僅正在經(jīng)歷著水資源需求量的驟增，而且廢水和污染也越發(fā)威脅著對(duì)人類和糧食安全至關(guān)重要的水生生態(tài)系統(tǒng)和農(nóng)業(yè)系統(tǒng)的完整性。

　　為了幫助解決這個(gè)問題，聯(lián)合國(guó)宣布了2023年國(guó)際淡水年水合作計(jì)劃。最近在塔吉克斯坦首都杜尚別舉行的會(huì)議上，美國(guó)助理海洋和國(guó)際環(huán)境和科學(xué)事務(wù)局副助理部長(zhǎng)丹尼爾瑞夫斯奈德說，除了進(jìn)行全球和地區(qū)水合作外別無選擇。

　　隨著需求增加，供應(yīng)減少，多樣性也增加，在相互競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的使用和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)使用者之間將存在沖突。在誰獲得水、何時(shí)獲得和如何使用上將產(chǎn)生法律爭(zhēng)端。允許犯錯(cuò)的空間將更小，更加需要從每一滴水中得到最大的價(jià)值。

　　支持共享水合作的一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的例證就是聯(lián)合國(guó)發(fā)展計(jì)劃署的共享水計(jì)劃，是建立新的或加強(qiáng)現(xiàn)存、地區(qū)水共享機(jī)制更高級(jí)合作的多捐贈(zèng)者平臺(tái)，副助理部長(zhǎng)瑞夫斯奈德如是說。

　　美國(guó)目前在全世界多個(gè)河流流域支持該項(xiàng)目，為進(jìn)行共享管理奠定了基礎(chǔ)。一旦基本工作完成，傳統(tǒng)的發(fā)展援助將支持下一步的發(fā)展并實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。

　　不過還有近一半的國(guó)際河流流域缺少合作管理框架，必須對(duì)此做出改變。

　　副助理部長(zhǎng)瑞夫斯奈德說，我們確實(shí)別無選擇，歷史已經(jīng)很清楚，缺少合作就會(huì)導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展放緩和不穩(wěn)定增強(qiáng)。通過合作，不同的社區(qū)和國(guó)家可以充分實(shí)現(xiàn)共享水資源的多重好處，實(shí)現(xiàn)水資源更安全的未來。
