他表示,首先,我们需要将水科学、创新和传统知识结合在一起。目前,我们正在与成员国和合作伙伴合作,以解决雨水安全、气候变化、弹性社会和创新有关的日益复杂的挑战。数千年来,人类社区以及文明在水资源利用,景观保护以及适应环境变化方面积累了非常宝贵的知识。
他说,我们必须认识到水不仅是一种资源,水也是文化。一条运河不仅是一个工程结构,它也是一个文化景观,一个知识和记忆的宝库,以及几代人之间的鲜活联系。联合国教科文组织在促进文化多样性、遗产保护、教育和跨文化多领域展开对话。从这个角度来看,保护运河遗产不仅意味着保护物理结构,还意味着保护与水有关的知识、实践和价值。与此同时,遗产仍然与今天的人们有关。我们面临的挑战是使古代运河和其他形式的水遗产能够为教育、旅游、社区福祉和可持续的生计作出贡献,同时保护其文化和生态的完整性。
他指出,我们需要把人与自然的和谐放在可持续发展的核心。气候变化、生物多样性丧失、缺水、洪水和其他日益增长的压力提醒我们,水安全、生态系统健康、文化遗产和人类福祉是紧密联系的。运河提供了一个很好的例子,它们连接着河流、景观、城市、生态系统和社区。因此,它们的可持续管理要求我们跨越传统边界开展工作,将水、生物多样性、文化、气候、旅游、教育和可持续发展结合在一起。(完)
