UNESCO and its partners are organizing an official side event on 23 March during the United Nations’ 2023 Water Conference on indigenous knowledge of water governance and management.
The traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples cover about one-quarter of land on Earth, equivalent to an estimated 38 million km2. This land includes many important headwaters, water towers, wetlands and other inland and coastal waters. Some of this land is arid or semi-arid.

Considerable research and advocacy have been done on indigenous knowledge systems of water.
