Résumé

This International Water Strategy of Finland forms the framework for Finland’s water-related ambitions and actions until the year 2030 and provides guidance on the implementation of SDG 6 through international collaboration. It introduces the concept of the Finnish Water Way. The Finnish Water Way provides novel approaches for water-based solutions aiming at ensuring a water-secure world by 2030. The Strategy acknowledges water as a critical element for sustainable development and an essential resource for all human activities. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set a common vision for global development in 2015. The self-standing and interlinked water-specific SDG 6 aims to “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”. This underlines the increased attention to water security and sanitation on the global political agenda. Water supply and sanitation are also critical prerequisites to achieving almost all other SDGs, such as poverty reduction, gender equality, food security and health. The Finnish Water Way means an integrated approach– from the grass-roots level to the national level – towards sustainable water management (a multi-stakeholder approach towards sustainable water management). It aims at long-term capacity building and good governance accompanied by cooperation between the public and private sectors and the active participation of the civil society and local stakeholders alike. like.
