Regional Kick-off Meeting
The regional process is a key element in the World Water Forums. The purpose of the regional processes is to discuss measures to address water issues in relation to a specific regional context.
For 2015 French Water Partnership and Danish Water Forum were selected as regional coordinators. One of our first activities was to invite all stakeholders to participate in the kick-off meeting held on May 19, 2014, and to participate actively in the European Regional Preparations.
At the kick-off meeting the following topics were selected by participants:
- Water efficiency (broad definition)
- Transboundary water management
- Implementation of EU Directives and UNECE Convention
- Climate Change
- Urbanization - Innovate urban water management
- Science and Technology related to data and information management, skills, and knowledge gaps
