However, pessimism held court as well since the serious gravity of the world’s water, environment and human development crises. Those 2,500 experts and some 140 organisations assembled, discussed and delved deeper into an array of issues – from bioenergy to water rights – via nearly 80 separate sessions. Their conclusions and recommendations as summarised in this report should be taken to heart and used to jump start action.

Although benefit sharing has worked in some basins due to bi- and multi-lateral agreements, improved institutions, and strong basin organisations, the theory provides one reality while life’s lessons often provide quite another.

Under the theme “Progress and Prospects on Water – For a Clean and Healthy World with Special Focus on Sanitation” experts assembled in over 90 sessions including workshops, seminars, side events and high level debates to share ideas and recommend solutions on topics ranging from sanitation, agriculture, biodiversity and climate adaptation to governance, technology and health.
