The 11th water expert meeting That will be held in Athens on 30 March, constitutes an important step in the implementation of the UfM Water Agenda and its financial strategy with a dual modality, further development of the Biannual work Plans 2020-2021 and as it aims at discussing progress and outcomes of the thematic Task Forces and of the Financial Strategy process as well as their next steps towards meeting objectives defined in the UfM Ministerial Declaration on Water (Malta, April 2017) as well as to identify additional input for the second UFM water investment forum based on the achievement and success of the first UFM annual conference on water investment held at the margin of the Med Dialogue. The Technical coordination meeting of the Mediterranean Water Forum will be held on 31 March back to back with WEG. The Mediterranean Water Forum aims to present the Mediterranean as a hub of innovative water management solutions which have been locally developed or adapted to address the prevailing challenges of the region including those related to climate change impacts. It will also outline how the Mediterranean region is developing an integrated implementation framework through the Union for the Mediterranean’s Water Agenda, while also servicing other important political and technical regional and sub-regional frameworks, which ensures that different water management actions reinforce each other thereby providing a comprehensive solution for evolving needs. In so doing, the forum will present the value of the Mediterranean region in the development, adaptation and implementation of effective and integrated water resources management (IWRM) solutions including through water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus (WEFE Nexus) and Source-to-Sea approaches. It will also showcase the replication potential of these solutions to address emerging problems at a global scale, including as a contributor to jobs, prosperity, stability and peace.
