The 5th World Water Forum
The World Water Forum is the main water-related event in the world,
aimed at putting water firmly on the international agenda. A stepping
stone towards global collaboration on water problems, the Forum offers
the water community and policy-and-decision-makers from all over the
world the unique opportunity to come together to create links, debate
and attempts to find solutions to achieve water security. It is
organised every three year by the World Water Council, in collaboration
with the host country.
The 5th World Water Forum will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from 16 to 22 March 2009.
--
During the 5th World Water Forum to be held in Istanbul, 15-22 March 2009, the Mediterranean area will feature in numerous sessions with a large number of expected contributions for the future regional water strategy.
In addition to the special sessions dedicated to water issues in the Union for the Mediterranean (see headlines), three regional and sub-regional processes will cover the full diversity of the region: the Mediterranean as such, the MENA/Arab countries and the in/around Turkey.
From the point of view of knowledge and data sharing, the theme 6 on "Education, Knowledge and Capacity Development" will be of particular relevance for the EMWIS community.
