<ul><li>Strategies and methodologies aimed at the sustainable management of water and water ecosystems need to go beyond technical and economic driven approaches. In the run-up to the UN Water Conference and during the NY Water Week we gathered several methodologies and insights that combine local stories with global narratives in a multi-scalar approach, enabling design-thinking and artistic interventions for the implementation of the Water Action Agenda. This high-level meeting aims to share our insights and gather support of policy makers and international organizations for the implementation of a series of action-based initiatives. Together, the participants will set aims and objectives for the year to come, and formalize the commitments for the Water Action Agenda.</li></ul><h3>P﻿rogram</h3>Introduction<ul><li>Rick Bell, Columbia University;</li><li>Eric Orsenna, President of Initiatives for the Future of Great Rivers (IAGF).</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Rick Bell, Columbia University</li><li>Eric Orsenna, President of Initiatives for the Future of Great Rivers (IAGF); Introduction</li><li>Karl M.
