Islamabad/IBNS: Munir Akram, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), said the country might be among the top 10 nations facing water scarcity.

He made these comments while speaking about the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 6 which deals with the issue of clean water. Highlighting the water issues, he said that Pakistan is on the top when it comes to water scarcity, reports ANI quoting Ary News.

Stressing on the cause of water issues, the UN representative cited climate change, floods and drought as the reason. An appropriate framework around which to structure the themes of the dialogues can be formed through its five accelerants Financing, Data and Information, Capacity Development, Innovation and Governance, said the UN envoy.

Munir Akram, speaking about the water governance issues, added that the transboundary water cooperation has a key crucial role when it comes to supporting wider regional integration, peace and sustainable development, as well as in tackling regional security challenges and in supporting climate change adaptation.
