Introduction Source to sea on the global agenda The SDGs and the 2030 Agenda The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agreed to by the General Assembly in 2015, formulate an integrated and indivisible agenda and are intended to balance the social, economic and environmental dimensions of development. The benefits of source-to-sea management in linking across the SDGs, in particular, SDG 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all and SDG 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development have been highlighted at the United Nations Ocean Conference in 2017 and the High-Level Political Forum 2018. The strength of the source-to-sea approach is its ability to hone in on priorities that span across the social, economic and environmental dimensions of the broader 2030 Agenda. The need for a source-to-sea approach has also been highlighted in funding strategies of the Global Environment Facility and Facility and Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), in operational strategies of UN Environment, UNDP Water and Ocean Governance Programme and Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management; and in ministerial declarations/outcome documents from World Water Forum and the 2018 Dushanbe High-Level Conference on SDG 6. Source-to-sea linkages must be properly recognized and addressed as part of SDG implementation. Source-to-sea management can play an important role in ensuring that the linkages between the different goals, and their targets, are considered directly. Doing so will help balance upstream and downstream demands and make sure that investments to forward the achievement of one of the SDGs does not impede the achievement of others. Climate change adaptation Source-to-sea management has great potential for contributing to climate change adaptation. As sea levels rise, hydrologic regimes are altered and water chemistry shifts, the linkages between segments of the source-to-sea system become ever more evident and the need to address these changes from a broader perspective grows. For example, the importance of maintaining sediment flows to deltas and coastlines must be looked at jointly with the benefits that upstream dams (material flow) provide in the form of energy, irrigation and flood control. By expanding the view from individual to multiple segments and from one to several sectors, source-tosea management enables better understanding of the interrelationships across the source-to-sea continuum and opens up new partnerships between stakeholders for addressing social, economic and environmental impacts of climate change. 14 | Implementing the source-to-sea approach
