There is a growing need to prioritise water for food, nutrition and human security. A human rights perspective serves to elevate water for food as a priority in efforts to establish human security and peace. This session will feature high-level experts and officials presenting the current state of water insecurity and food and nutrition security at the intersection with peace and human-wellbeing. Addressing water resources for food and nutrition is one necessary path to ensure multiple human rights, such as food, clean water, and basic security, while also safeguarding sustainable and productive landscapes for future generations. These multi-dimensional targets (SDG 2,3, 6, 15) are off-track in many geographic regions affected by water insecurity and social instability. By addressing the human rights perspective, we can provide an approach to ensure water for food is embedded into efforts toward enduring peace and security.
