Peace with Water

“Peace with water” is a conference organised by the World Political Forum, in collaboration with European parliamentary groups, based on a proposition by the European Research Institute on Water Policy (IERPE).

“Peace with water” has two different meanings here:
- To stop all aggressions/predations targeted against water resources;
- To prevent and avoid conflicts surrounding propriety and access to water.

"Peace with Water" intends to contribute to the current international governmental processes aimed at defining and approving the 2013 post-Kyoto agreement by proposing a Memorandum for a World Water Protocol. The protocol will focus on conflict prevention, the promotion of the right to water for all and the safeguard of the global water heritage for future generations.

The conference brings together parliamentarians, locally elected representatives and administrators, governments and international/intergovernmental organisations, public unions and other concerned unions (agricultural, industrial...), water companies, representatives from academic and research areas, associations and movements of the civil society; to discuss different themes within the water issue. Participation is open to any person or organisation sharing the conference's objectives. Anyone wishing to participate must register on the event's website.
