Description
Description
Launched in partnership with UNESCO IHP, the W12+ Blueprint is an online database and knowledge-sharing platform. The living database hosts city profiles and case studies of programs, technologies, policies, and other work that addresses common water security challenges, in addition to resources that support work in this area. Case studies are accessible to anyone, highly researched, and written for a non-technical audience. We believe these experiences and lessons learned should be shared widely to grow our collective knowledge and expertise for a more water secure future. These case studies are intended to prompt replication, scaling, and knowledge sharing between cities and communities facing similar water challenges.
Expected Impact
The W12+ Blueprint intends to prompt large-scale replication, scaling, and knowledge sharing of proven solutions to pervasive water challenges in cities and communities globally, accelerating our ability to reach SDG 6 directly (and other SDGs indirectly). As an online database and knowledge-sharing platform, the W12+ Blueprint facilitates an exchange of information, experiences and best practices on work that addresses water security challenges. Continued promotion of this work will accelerate SDG implementation by prompting replication and scaling of these innovative solutions. With a unique focus on relationality, the W12+ Blueprint links case studies and city profiles to issues and solutions, allowing users to search by their interests, whether it be a particular region, issue area or solution. The platform is evergreen, and new case studies, city profiles and resources are continuously being added.
