Representatives of the region's countries met and approved the Regional Water Action Agenda at the ECLAC headquarters in Santiago last February 2023. This instrument of voluntary commitments outlines the areas of prioritization and necessary efforts to achieve a sustainable and inclusive water transition and accelerate SDG 6 in Latin America and the Caribbean. This outcome was later communicated as the regional voice at the 2023 United Nations Water Conference, which took place in New York in March 2023, within the framework of the "Midterm comprehensive review of the implementation of the International Decade for Action, “Water for Sustainable Development”. In this context, some of the highest-level authorities were interviewed by ECLAC to disseminate the national commitments that the various institutions are promoting.
