Issue Strand:  Freshwater

Over 100 representatives of NGOs, business, trade unions, farmers, academia, women, youth, international agencies, governments, and others met at the IUCN Environment Centre and the Indaba Hotel to work in seven different groups. They addressed draft action plans that had been prepared in extensive consultations among stakeholders since autumn 2001. The process built on the networks and agreed priorities that have come out of the Second World Water Forum (The Hague, 2000) and the International Conference on Freshwater (Bonn, December 2001).
