12th UfM Water Expert Group, 23-24 May 2022, Amman (Jordan)

23-24 May, Amman, Jordan. The overall aim of the 12th Meeting of the Water Expert Group WEG is to continue supporting efforts by UfM member states to increase water security, promote water investments as well as entrepreneurial in the Mediterranean region through the implementation of the UfM Water Agenda.

The specific objectives of the meeting are:

• To review progress in the implementation of the UfM Water Agenda, including the UfM programme on Water Investment and Financing, and to discuss how to move forward.
• To discuss how the WEG can best support individual member states to implement the UfM Water Agenda, whether the WEG needs to revise the way it operates, and how to develop the next WEG Work Plan.
• To reflect on how the UfM Secretariat can best support the WEG, and how the WEG can best provide input to the programming cycle of the UfM Secretariat.
• To reflect on the conclusions of recent international water events, and to discuss how the WEG should contribute to international water-relevant events in the next 12 months (including the UNFCCC COP-27 and the 2023 UN Water Conference).
