ORGANISERSMinistry of Health/ Secretariat of Indigenous Health,

Indigenous peoples in Brazil face persistent challenges in accessing safe water, sanitation, and waste management services, which are essential for health, well-being, and climate resilience. About half of the indigenous population lack acess to clean water in Brazil. Geographic isolation, cultural diversity, and environmental pressures have historically limited the effectiveness of conventional infrastructure approaches. In response, the Brazilian government made the National Program for Indigenous Water, Sanitation and Waste Management (PNSI), led by the Ministry of Health in collaboration with multiple agencies and Indigenous organizations. The Program seeks to integrate technical, environmental, and cultural dimensions in the design and implementation of sustainable solutions, ensuring Indigenous leadership and participation in decision-making processes

Promoting Water-Resilient Food Systems for Climate Action

November 19, 2025 2:00 pm - 15:15Panel discussionWater-resilient Food Systems

With climate change intensifying water scarcity and disrupting agricultural productivity, ensuring that food systems can withstand water-related stresses is essential. This session aims to explore why water-food linkages are key to promoting both climate mitigation and adaptation, and how strengthened mainstreaming of water-food linkages in climate policies promotes achieving global climate resilience, the goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Practical, Science-Based Water Resiliency and Mitigation Solutions Through Standards and Partnerships to Advance SDG 6, 13, and 17

November 15, 2025 1:00 pm - 14:00Panel discussionResilient Mitigation

This panel will explore how science-based standards for climate resiliency in water resources can support developing nations in implementing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). By applying these standards, countries can strengthen the resilience of water infrastructure (SDG13), ensure sustainable management and access to clean water (SDG6), and protect communities from climate-related risks. The session will also highlight the critical role of collaborative partnerships (SDG17) in scaling these solutions, enabling governments, the private sector, and civil society to work together effectively. Through these practical examples, the panel will demonstrate how integrating standards and partnerships can advance global sustainable development, improve climate adaptation strategies (SDG13), and foster inclusive and cooperative approaches to water management (SDG6, SDG17).
