6th World Water Forum

Every three years since 1997, the World Water Forum mobilises creativity, innovation, competence and know-how in favour of water. It gathers all stakeholders around today’s local, regional and global issues that cannot be undertaken without all stakeholders into a common framework of goals and concrete targets to reach.

The 6^th World Water Forum innovates with:

• A Platform of solutions, to last beyond 2012, for all to consult and contribute to.

• A roadmap to achieve concrete commitments, involving experts and decision-makers from different sectors and regions of the world.

• A new commission, “Grassroots & Citizenship”, to involve and mobilise civil society.

• A strengthening of the political process especially through significant contributions and commitments from parliamentarians and local and regional authorities from around the world.

• Debates on sensitive issues.
