Event First Meeting of the Task Force on extreme weather events under the Protocol on Water and Health to the UNECE Water Convention

The First Meeting of the Task Force on extreme weather events under the Protocol on Water and Health to the UNECE Water Convention will take place on 21-22 April, 2008 (Rome, Italy).

The meeting is open to experts from Parties and non-Parties to the Protocol representing governmental authorities, the private sector and non-governmental organizations as well as other interested stakeholders. In this respect, focal points are requested to facilitate nomination of relevant experts from their respective countries. Given the complexity of the issues discussed, delegates should consult within their countries with relevant health, environment and water management authorities to ensure that the views, needs and approaches of all concerned sectors are taken into account.

Eligible participants from countries with economies in transition may apply for financial support to facilitate their participation in the workshop. Requests for financial support should be submitted to UNECE (protocol.water_health@unece.org), as soon as possible, but not later than 25 March 2008.
