World Water Week – Making a statement

Next June 4-6, global leaders will gather for the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro (Rio+20 Summit), where they will seek to construct a new path for the global transition towards a ‘green economy’. At the closing of the World Water Week in Stockholm, participants provided a clear message to the heads of government, UN bodies, and civil society organisations as they make their preparations for next year’s Summit: The foundation of the green economy will rest on our ability to equitably and efficiently manage our water, energy and food resources.
