World Water Week in Stockholm, August 17 - 23, 2008

The World Water Week will be organized in Stockholm, August 17 - 23, 2008. The world community of water and development will meet once again in Stockholm. Topics related to the list below will be on the agenda:
  1. agriculture
  2. biodiversity
  3. sanitation
  4. climate change
  5. drinking water
  6. economics
  7. ecosystems
  8. finance
  9. governance
  10. pollution
  11. poverty reduction
  12. stakeholder involvement
  13. technology and water resources management
For a staggering 2,6 billion people, lack of access to adequate sanitation is a major and daily threat to their health and well-being. This bears tremendous social and environmental costs, of which premature deaths, degradation of living quarters and the environment, and reduced access to education are but a few.
