20.500.12556/RUL-181070 Charting synergies in global water agendas a strategic science–policy–practice approach Water plays a central connecting role within the climate system, linking meteorological, hydrological, and earth system processes with societal dimensions such as water resource demands and risks associated with pollution, droughts, and floods. Global water challenges are addressed through multiple international agendas related to sustainable development, climate change, biodiversity, and water security. While these agendas share broadly aligned objectives, they differ in scope, scale, and modes of operationalization. Together, they shape how scientific knowledge is mobilized, policies are formulated, and actions are implemented. As the 2030 Agenda approaches its conclusion, there is a growing need to review and map global water agendas in order to better understand their interactions and support more coherent responses to complex water challenges. Rather than viewing global water agendas as parallel and independent efforts, they can be understood as interconnected learning pathways through which shared objectives, knowledge, and practical experience evolve over time. From this perspective, synergies emerge across these learning pathways through reflection, coordination, and exchange between science, policy, and practice. Clarifying how such synergies can be recognized, supported, and strengthened is therefore essential for advancing more integrated and impactful responses to global water challenges. The Strategic UN Synergy Working Group (SUN) operates within the IAHS HELPING Science for Solutions Decade (2023–2032) and aims to strengthen the contribution of hydrological science to international policy processes and practical implementation programmes. Guided by the HELPING paradigm, SUN facilitates bottom-up engagement, open science, and co-creation principles to support learning across scales and the translation of hydrological knowledge into policy and action. This contribution introduces the vision, structure, and core activities of the SUN Working Group, with a focus on understanding global water agendas and supporting synergies through a science–policy–practice approach. SUN builds on the understanding of global water agendas as interconnected learning pathways, and we will illustrate how coordinated learning pathways can help advance more coherent, integrated, and future-oriented global water agenda. mednarodno sodelovanje znanost in družba vodna agenda Mednarodno združenje za hidrološke znanosti true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Izvleček, povzetek 2026-03-24 13:06:41 2026-03-24 13:06:48 2026-03-25 04:33:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 2 str. 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 556 10.5194/egusphere-egu26-18624 272607235 272591107 Shafiei...-Charting_Synergies_in_Global_Water_Agendas.pdf Shafiei...-Charting_Synergies_in_Global_Water_Agendas.pdf 1 81C9D4C90DEBE407FA4569548C68B652 e06d1e178d6ac80ecb45afb3645acac71822228364d4bf4a7612f1131916cf5d e7c841fb-2779-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=231201 https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-18624.html 1 d18e78ed-2779-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=231200 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo 0 0 0
