6th World Water Forum: 2012 March 12-17
Every three years since 1997, the World Water Forum mobilizes creativity, innovation, competence and know-how in favour of water.The five World Water Forums organised since 1997 have placed water on the international political agenda. They have undoubtedly contributed to a global awareness of the water issues.The Forum must be perceived first of all as a tri-annual process initiated as soon as a host country and a host city have been selected by a series of preparatory processes which combine thematic, regional and political activities. These processes mobilise thousands of water stakeholders over the 5 continents and culminate in the Forum week. However this week is not an end: it represents simply an important milestone in a continuous process combining dialogue, action and monitoring of the results.
With a unifying and open-minded image, the World Water Forum strives to open its activities to the entire water stakeholders of the political arena and of the civil society. The World Water Council, the
host city and the host country promote interactions and partnerships at all geographic scales and between all actors, with a special focus on developing countries.http://www.worldwaterforum6.org
Solutions for Water
From targets to solutions and commitments, the 6th World Water Forum “Time for Solutions” is advocating a strategic approach to solving key water problems. Whether institutional, technical, legal, financial or communication-related, a solution is a successful answer to a problem and contributes to reaching one of the Forum’s ambitious thematic and regional targets. Commitments can then be sought at all levels and from all kind of stakeholders to strengthen the implementation and
follow-up of the target action plans and promising solutions.http:/ In March 2012, nearly 800 speakers will attend; 250 sessions of debates and discussion for over 400 hours shall take place. More than 180 countries are expected to participate. In a spirit of sharing and with an open mind, the collaborative work that we will accomplish during these five days will help make the solutions become engagement
and reality. It is therefore my great pleasure to invite you to come and participate to the 6th World Water Forum from 12 to 17 March 2011, Marseille, France. I look forward to welcoming you to this Forum. You can register on line by simply clicking the link below. www.worldwaterforum6.org/registration
