The gamechanger commitment of the Global Network of Water Museums to the Water Action Agenda

Global Network of Water Museums (WAMU-NET) - a ‘flagship initiative’ of UNESCO-IHP (Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme) (

Non-governmental organization (NGO)

)

#SDGAction50705

Description

The Global Network of Water Museums (WAMU-NET) is a ‘flagship initiative’ of IHP: the Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme of UNESCO. It was endorsed in 2018 by the IHP Intergovernmental Council to promote water awareness and sustainability education worldwide (Resolution n.5-XXIII of UNESCO-IHP).
WAMU-NET’s mission is to foster new visions for more far-sighted management of water and reach larger audiences through water education activities. Thanks to enhanced activities based on water awareness, it’s possible to promote innovation and adaptation strategies, and better co-existence between humans and the biosphere as a whole.
WAMU-NET is established to re-connect people with all forms of water legacy (both natural and cultural heritage) and highlight through holistic approaches “the natural, social, cultural, artistic, and spiritual dimensions related to water”. For this reason, WAMU-NET aims at supporting cooperation among institutions, museums and people to repair our deteriorated relationship with the most precious element for life and implement new actions to build a ‘new culture of water’.
The Global Network of Water Museums is an independent non-profit NGO based in Venice, Italy. It groups 80+ institutional members from 36 countries, with a yearly average audience of approx. 50 million visitors per year. WAMU-NET is governed by its General Assembly and the Management Board. Its work is made possible by the generous support of its 80+ members.

Expected Impact

The strategy of WAMU-NET for the Water Action Agenda is set to impact, by December 2030, a global audience of more than 500 million people. At present, the museums listed below are committed to disseminate WAMU-NET’s key messages. They count altogether an average number of 50 million visitors per year. With this figure, the expected impact over the next eight years is to reach 400 million people. Moreover, WAMU-NET's strategy is to double its membership by 2030 (from the present 80+ members to 160; thus, implementing the Resolution n.7-XXIV of UNESCO-IHP on WAMU-NET). In addition, WAMU-NET will mobilise to formally involve the National Committees of UNESCO-IHP (in 169 countries worldwide) to implement the World Inventory of water museums (IHP Resolution n.7-XXIV).
All these efforts will allow it to reach the expected target of 500 million people globally - in the process empowering awareness education, ecosystem and biodiversity protection, environmental stewardship, the sustainable use of water, and the value of water in general - in the attempt to transform the way people think, act, and behave.
WAMU-NET will mobilize additional voluntary commitments from across sectors, with a focus on holistic and transformative understanding of the value of water. All these efforts will foster behavioral shifts to drive meaningful global change and achieve the 2030 Agenda.
