Addressing rising water scarcity in agriculture: introducing a new FAO Water Scarcity Programme and associated Regional Cooperative Platform
At the 2020 Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific (APRC35), FAO presented a technical paper titled Setting regional priorities to manage water for agriculture under conditions of water scarcity. The technical paper, and the proposal for a new Water Scarcity Programme contained within it, were widely endorsed by the 35th Regional Conference. This information document serves to provide an update on the follow up actions taken in response to APRC35 recommendations. It provides an overview of the five-year Water Scarcity Programme (WSP) for Asia and the Pacific region and progress made in its development. The WSP has now been developed in detail and is designed to support FAO Members in taking practical steps to address and manage water scarcity in a changing climate. The WSP is based on extensive scoping activities that FAO carried out between 2019 and 2021. It is a consultative document designed to allow the Regional Conference to provide inputs and comments for improvement.
