Conference on water and climate change adaptation
A Conference on water and climate change adaptation will take place on
12-13 March 2009 in Brussels and which is organized by the European Water
Partnership (EWP), the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water
Management, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the World
Water Council and the Cooperative Programme on Water and Climate.
The Conference will demonstrate and
promote good practices in Europe in three crucial areas of water and adaptation
to climate change: spatial planning, finance and water use efficiency and social
aspects. The Conference which is part of the European Regional Process for the
fifth World Water Forum builds on numerous ongoing efforts for adaptation at the
national and international level and will, among other issues, discuss the draft
UNECE Guidance on Water and Climate Change Adaptation, developed currently under
the UNECE Water Convention. It will also
include a presentation of the EU Commission's White Paper on Climate Change
Adaptation as well as the international launch of the Dutch Delta Commission
Report.
Each participant should
complete the registration form and return it to the EWP
(s.borst@ewp.eu) as soon as possible, but not later than 26 February 2009.
