European Policy Summit "Water Security: Does Europe Have a strategy?"
Brussels, Belgium
7 June 2007
http://www.friendsofeurope.org/Adv_Board_Netherlands_HCSS/2007/458/tabid/969/Default.aspx
Co-organised by Friends of Europe and the European Water Partnership.
With the support of the Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform (WSSTP), the Co-operative Programme on Water and Climate and Dow Europe.
The growing
pressure on water resources, due to economic growth and climate change,
gives rise to important policy questions regarding the provision of
sufficient clean water to meet population’s needs. At the same time,
many sectors such as agriculture, industry and power generation are
faced with water supply constraints. What policy can be effective in
managing the overwhelming demand for water? How can investments be
channelled into the water sector to scale-up infrastructures and deploy
more efficient water technologies? Is water policy being adequately
integrated into the EU’s policies for addressing energy, climate change
and other global environmental challenges?
Keynote address will be given by Stavros Dimas, EU Commissioner for Environment.
