| 22 March 2008 is World Water Day |
|
Friends of Europe - Saturday, March 22, 2008
|
|
This day was first formally proposed in Agenda 21 of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Observance began in 1993 and has grown significantly ever since. |
|
|
The United Nations General Assembly designated 22 March of each year as the World Day for Water by adopting a resolution. States were invited to devote the Day to implement the UN recommendations and set up concrete activities as deemed appropriate in the national context.
The Subcommittee welcomes the assistance offered by IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre to contribute to an information network centre in support of the observance of the Day by Governments, as required.
Friends of Europe has been organising high-level European Policy Summits on water-related issues since 2006. Follow the links below for more information on these.
