The 7th World Water Forum - Daegu EXCO, South Korea
April 01, 2015
The 7th World Water Forum will help us to achieve economic development, social inclusion, and sustainable environment
In the coming decades, our ability to build a water-secure future will depend upon our capacity to turn future challenges into opportunities. By guaranteeing water security, we will guarantee security in many other domains as well. Indeed, access to water and sanitation is not only an end in itself, but a tool for improving livelihoods, for empowering women and girls and giving them access to education and for preventing disease.
Water security also means using water wisely for providing food and energy, for generating green growth and economic sustainability, for increasing resilience to global changes, and for safeguarding the environment.
Moreover, good governance, sufficient capacities, and adequate financial flows are all necessary for the implementation of so many solutions identified during the previous editions of the World Water Forum.
The 7th World Water Forum will be an opportunity to recognize resolving water challenges as our shared responsibility, which is important to economic development, social inclusion, and sustainable environment.
Please join us in addressing water challenges!
President
World Water Council
Benedito Braga
