Actor & activist Matt Damon & his water.org co-founder Gary White share a closing message to world leaders and participants of the UN 2023 Water Conference.

In 1977, world leaders, water experts and policymakers from around the world gathered in Mar del Plata, Argentina, for the UN Water Conference. In a few days, almost 50 years later, the global community will come together in New York for the second ever UN 2023 Water Conference.

Increasing gender equality in water is crucial in light of the global commitments in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The side event will have countries call for enhanced water action and renewed commitments and explain their visions, including investment plans and frameworks for transformative water action following the UN 2023 Water Conference, to be followed by a panel discussion on how the international community in collaboration with the International High-Level Panel on Water Investments for Africa and other global organizations can support the realization of such visions. 

This side event serves as an opportunity to discuss extreme heat as a silent killer and bring the Extreme Heat report to the United Nations audience in New York and to engage the diplomatic, humanitarian, and science communities in a discussion about the impacts of extreme heat on people and communities, but especially those in the most vulnerable and marginalized situations, and our governmental and humanitarian responses.
