Event Summary and Conclusions
The 5th World Water Forum, which will take place on 16-22 March in Istanbul, Turkey, was prominently featured as a part of the Stockholm World Water Week activities and events.
An overflowing crowd of professionals and students from academia, government, business and science came to exchange ideas, debate and collaborate with Theme, Topic and Regional Coordinators at the “5th World Water Forum Topic Bazaar.”
This round-table seminar, organized by the World Water Council and the 5th World Water Forum Secretariat, gave the opportunity for World Water Week participants to contribute their valuable experiences and solutions to today’s main water challenges as an integral part of the thematic development process for the preparation of the 5th World Water Forum. Topic Coordinators for each of the 5th World Water Forum’s 23 topics led lively round-table discussions. Together, the participants were able to discuss the key questions related to each topic, further develop session outlines and identify partners for each of the Forum’s 100 sessions.
