Commitments of the PCJ Consortium towards Sustainable Water Management

Consórcio PCJ (
Non-governmental organization (NGO)
)
#SDGAction51970
    Description
    Description

    The PCJ Consortium is a non-profit civil association made up of municipalities and private companies. Its mission is to integrate all sectors of society in favor of efficient water, sanitation, and environmental management. Based on its document "Water Sustainability Goals" produced in 2015 during the worst water crisis ever experienced in the Southeast region of Brazil, which severely impacted the Piracicaba, Capivari, and Jundiaí River Basins (PCJ Basins), and in response to the United Nations' call for the global community to commit to water management in the face of climate change, the PCJ Consortium has developed its Water Action Agenda, the Water Pacts, grouped into five major commitments: Commitments for Water and Health; Commitments for the Protection of Water Sources; Commitments for Public Policies aimed at Integrated Water Resources Management; Commitments for Environmental Education focused on Water Management; and Commitments for Universal Access to Water.

    Expected Impact

    The ability of the Consórcio PCJ to integrate different sectors, such as public, private, rural and civil society, contributes to actions in favor of water being agreed upon and carried out with the involvement of all. The PCJ Basins manage to supply all these sectors thanks to this collective action and interlocution that the PCJ Consortium has practiced since its foundation in 1989. We hope this strength can contribute with water agenda and agenda 2030 to build a future sustanaible.
