The 2024 global progress report gives an overview of the status of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) around the world as of 2023. Findings show global progress towards IWRM implementation has increased from 49% in 2017 to 57% in 2023. But the world is not on track to reach the 2030 target and will not achieve sustainable water management until at least 2049 – 25 years from now. Read the full report to learn more!
