Objet publié

This grant represents Canada's institutional support to the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH). UNU-INWEH uses these funds to achieve its mandate, which is to contribute, through capacity development and directed research, to efforts to resolve pressing global water problems that are of concern to the United Nations, its member states and their peoples. UNU-INWEH is an international think-tank on water that aims to improve global water governance in developing countries through applied research and delivery of education and training services. UNU-INWEH works across four thematic areas: (1) data collection for policy-making, monitoring and reporting on SDG 6; (2) unconventional water resources and disruptive technologies; (3) gender equality in water management; and (4) health and climate-related water risks. UNU-INWEH is strengthening the integration of gender equality and climate change adaptation across all thematic areas.
