Sustainable development in the Arab region
sixth goal: challenges and opportunities

22 - 23 November 2023 - InterContinental Riyadh Hotel

Introduction

Arab countries in general face a severe shortage of natural water resources. Due to its geographical, geological, and climatic conditions, and since water is one of the most important natural resources on which social and economic development efforts are based, water scarcity is considered one of the most prominent obstacles to economic and social development. This is made worse by the increasing costs of obtaining water from non-conventional sources, rapid population growth that leads to increased demand for water for all purposes, as well as rising infrastructure costs. Member states of the United Nations have adopted sustainable development goals to eradicate poverty, preserve the land, and improve living conditions, which are represented by a sustainable environment and natural resources that achieve water security and contribute to food security and quality of life. Among these goals is the sixth sustainable development goal, which is concerned with ensuring the availability of water and sanitation services, which requires solidarity and greater efforts to confront these challenges and achieve the sixth goal of the sustainable development goals. By maximizing the benefit of every drop of water, preserving its security, as well as expanding the necessary studies on the economics and valorization of water, rehabilitating the infrastructure, exploiting the available opportunities to preserve it, and identifying the social value of water.
