World Water Week approaching / Karin Lexén
Time for World water week again; busy corridors, great meetings, lots of fun…
The Swedish water house will be busy during the week in launching two new policy briefs… and several seminars and side events… As usual many burning topics will be discussed and transboundary waters will be in focus.
Another hot issue; water and climate change will be intensively discussed throughout the week; how can the water community contribute the best to the climate change processes and what role will water have in the COP-15 agreement? Watch out for exiting discussions and results!
