13. 在“十年”中期，大会主席根据大会第 69/215 号决议的恳求，于 2015 年 3月 30 日第六十九届会议期间召开了 2005-2015 年“生命之水”国际行动十年执行进展情况全面审查高级别互动对话。互动对话强调，最佳做法和经验教训是促进实现可持续发展的一种手段。在对话期间，有与会者强调指出，在该“十年”下半期已经取得重大进展，水现在不仅被认为是促进可持续发展的最高优先事项之一，而且是实现其他可持续发展目标(即目标 6，“为所有人提供水和环境卫生并对其进行可持续管理”，以及其它目标)的重要贡献力量。需要加强合作、能力建设和适当的技术。有与会者强调，就可持续发展而言，水具有交叉性质，在这方面，需要将更周密、可量化和更明确的指标列入《2030 年可持续发展议程》。此外，在水和环境卫生方面还需要更多的投资，还需要从人权角度去应对，为基础的方针需要参与性治理，以及为治理污染筹措资金，改进监测和数据。
13. As was the case at the midpoint of the Decade, the President of the General Assembly, as invited by the Assembly in its resolution 69/215, convened, during its sixth-ninth session, on 30 March 2015, a High-level Interactive Dialogue of the sixty-ninth session of the Assembly on a Comprehensive Review of the Progress Achieved in the Implementation of the International Decade for Action, “Water for Life”, 2005- 2015. The Interactive Dialogue highlighted best practices and lessons learned as a means of facilitating achievement of sustainable development. During the Dialogue, it was emphasized that major progress had been made during the second half of the Decade and that water is now recognized as not only one of the highest priorities for sustainable development, but also as an important contributor to achievement of the other Sustainable Development Goals (i.e., Goals besides Goal 6, which is to “(e)nsure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”). Enhanced cooperation, capacity-building and adequate technology were required. The cross-cutting nature of water in the context of sustainable development was stressed and, in this regard, the need for inclusion of more sophisticated, quantifiable and clearer indicators in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addition, more investment was needed as well as a human rights-based approach to water and sanitation requiring participatory governance, and the addressing of financing, pollution and improved monitoring and data.
