Eco-Cities of the Mediterranean Forum, 11-12 Oct. 2011

The 2nd Eco-Cities of the Mediterranean Forum will be held in Marseille, France, as part of the Mediterranean Economic Week. It will set a platform for municipalities and the private sector to exchange experiences on the most critical environmental issues being faced in the Mediterranean region and discuss business opportunities to address the issues, including environmental services and best available technologies.

The objective of the 2011 Forum is to bring together municipalities of the region and the private sector, as well as NGOs and intergovernmental organisations, to discuss solutions to environmental challenges, which promote both economic growth and social responsibility. It will explore innovative approaches to water resource management. It seeks to present options of existing technological solutions available to cities, as well as successful public-private partnerships that can serve as examples.

Hachmi Kennou, President of the Mediterranean Cross-Continental Process, will speak during the session on water: “Global and regional approaches to water management”, on October 11th.
