Our planet’s main source of freshwater is held underground in aquifers. Since 1950, the global use of groundwater has increased by 300%. This has brought huge social and economic benefits but has also led to serious concerns about groundwater resources’ sustainability, water quality and ecosystems and habitats that depend on or supply these resources. Following a series of regional consultations, the Global Groundwater Governance Project, through a partnership of major global agencies, developed a shared vision and Global Framework for Action for groundwater to 2030. As a subscriber to the vision, the Groundwater Solutions Initiative for Policy and Practice (GRIPP) is a recent global initiative, which aims to bring multi-disciplinary expert knowledge and multilevel collaboration to achieve sustainable groundwater management for livelihoods, food security, climate resilience and economic growth. GRIPP aims to achieve its goal by supporting effective institutional partnerships, capacity development and proven practices working with country agencies at various scales. Local success stories in groundwater management are a source of inspiration, but major investment and commitment to action is required to achieve national and regional impact. GRIPP is an independent consortium of partners, from UN and CGIAR organizations, academia, NGOs, private sector, donors and professional associations that advocates the importance of investment in groundwater to high-level decision-makers. Further, GRIPP is developing, implementing, outscaling and sharing collaborative solutions and tools to promote sustainable groundwater management. GRIPP is coordinated by the International Water Management Institute and has eight core members as well as a growing number of associated partners. The National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training is a core member of GRIPP and, together with the Australian Water Partnership, is collaborating with GRIPP partners to develop and implement regionally and globally relevant solutions and projects. This presentation will introduce GRIPP, its ongoing activities and emergent achievements.
