    On 10 June 2011, more than 150 parliamentarians gathered at the Council of Europe, Strasbourg, France, to prepare the 6th World Water Forum, which will be held in Marseille in March 2012.

    The Parliamentary Process at the World Water Forum was created in order to give a greater voice to parliamentarians in the global debate on water, and to prepare contributions on a series of key issues such as :

    • transboundary waters
    • adaptation to global changes
    • the right to water
    • the creation of a “Water Legislation Helpdesk” for the development of appropriate legal frameworks on water was discussed.
