UNIDO Director General LI Yong – Statement on World Water Day
VIENNA, 20 March 2015 – LI Yong, the Director General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), issued the following statement today.

“Water is a key factor input into almost all industrial production processes. UNIDO supports its partners in the efficient and effective use of water resources and the adoption of resource-efficient cleaner production processes through the transfer of environmentally sound technologies, and proactive public-private partnerships for water stewardship and water footprinting.

The underlying principle of UNIDO’s work is that we support our partners in decoupling the use and consumption of resources from economic growth. This allows UNIDO to make a significant contribution to inclusive and sustainable development, not only of industry but also of communities, societies and businesses around the globe.”
