La gestión integral de los recursos hídricos y su relación con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible

Abstract

Nowadays, countries, their governments, and their people are more than ever committed to achieve by 2030 the challenges posed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2015, and ratified by the majority of the world's countries. It is necessary to achieve the SDGs as a response to the urgent global need to harmonize human welfare with the essential conservation, recovery, and sustainable management of natural resources and the environment. This must be done in accordance with principles of sustainability for the future, which require a multidisciplinary approach through scientific reflection, strategies, and actions that allow these processes to be consolidated. In this academic work, the aim is to support a documentary analysis of the relationship between Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the SDGs, with a special emphasis on the Venezuelan context.
