5+5 Water Strategy in the Western Mediterranean: Action Plan Kick-off Meeting 30-31 March

After the great success of having its Action Plan signed and endorsed by the Ministers during the COP 22 held in Marrakech last November, the 5+5 group for the Water Strategy in the Western Mediterranean (WSWM) is meeting in Valencia (Spain) for the Kick-off Meeting of the Action Plan on 30-31 March. An additional working meeting will be organised in 2017 in order to begin the practical implementation of the Action Plan and to define the Work Plan for 2018.  For this Kick-off meeting, participants will bring proposals of events/initiatives/projects that fit into the Action Plan.  One of the technical topics will focus on ensuring urban water supply in scarce environments.
