UN-Water conference: Water and the Green Economy in Practice, towards the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille and Rio+20
The UN-Water conference “Water and the Green Economy in Practice: Towards Rio+20” on 3-5 October in Zaragoza, Spain, will highlight case studies from around the world which promote water in a green economy. There have been many examples of successful sustainable water management which delivers benefits for both people and the environment. It is crucial to share these experiences and the preparatory process leading up to Rio+20 provides an opportunity for such an exchange. One major output from the conference will be a toolbox to provide input to the Rio+20 conference, illustrating key tools which can be used to make the transition towards a green economy. The success of the conference will hinge on its ability to shift the discussions around the green economy to practical implementation guidance that countries can use to generate real change on the ground.
