This short film aims to illustrate present and future challenges in urban water management, highligting water problems facing cities around the world.

The film is designed to promote sustainable and innovative approaches that UNESCO is pursuing to help countries address water problems in fast-growing cities, and to assist cities to develop strategies for sustainable urban water management.

A short documentary film related to the environment of coastal cities / mega cities highlighting the vulnerability of these large settlements due to their high demography and to the impacts of marine related hazards (coastal erosion, storm surges, tsunami, forecasted sea level change) as well as the environmental footprint of large coastal cities on marine ecosystems (degradation of coastal habitats, waste management, emissions, pollution, public health impacts). The film will also emphasise the need for sustainable coastal cities to build their planning policies on science based information and products such as the ones promoted by IOC (coastal & ocean monitoring systems, hazards warning systems and preparedness, integrated coastal management and marine spatial planning).

Also called "Connecting Delta Cities. New York, Rotterdam, Jakarta, Alexandria. About global coastal cities and future challenges", this films addresses the huge challenges and dangers that cities and places as different as Greenland, Jakarta, Rotterdam and New York are facing. Their problems, the film insists, are global and can be tackled more efficiently with an exchange of knowledge and intensive cooperation.
