National Report - IHP-ROK activities undertaken in the period April 2022 - February 2024

The Republic of Korea has been actively participating in the UNESCO water programme since the start of the IHD in 1965. To continue and enhance the implementation in the national level, the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea established the IHP National Committee of the Republic of Korea (IHP-ROK) through a Decree in June 2022. IHPROK consists of leadership, secretariat, and four sub-committees based on the expertise of its members, focusing on planning and strategy, policy consultation, public relations, and academic research. The Republic of Korea serves as the Vice-Chair of Priority Theme 1 (Scientific Research and Innovation) within IHP-IX. Notably, IHP-ROK is dedicated to developing an online education platform for AI+Water Resources Engineering Capacity Building for Priority Theme 1.9 and focuses on Ecohydrology, introducing the IHP Ecohydrology Demonstration site to Korea for the first time. Additionally, the Republic of Korea serves as the Chair of the Regional Steering Committee for Asia and the Pacific, representing Group IV members. On a domestic level, IHP-ROK initiated the establishment of the UNESCO Water Consortium in Korea, fostering collaboration and facilitating the implementation of IHP-IX among various stakeholders including academia, associations, public institutes, and private organizations. This collaborative initiative is reflected in this report through the documentation of research outcomes, publications, seminars, and other relevant activities, highlighting stakeholders’ dedication to advancing water-related initiatives and achieving the objectives outlined in IHP-IX
