Highlighting the gravity of these challenges, he called for global solidarity, political ownership, and leadership to drive the necessary changes.
"We must move from words, rhetoric, and pledges to delivery and action on water, climate, and the cryosphere," the minister said. "Global solidarity, political ownership, and leadership are critical to achieving our shared goals and ensuring a sustainable future."
