4th Mediterranean Water Forum

6-8 December 2021. The 4th Mediterranean Water Forum will be held in Malta from December 6 to 8, 2021. The 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.

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.The Forum will be a great opportunity to present the results in relation to the 20 “Water” targets of the United Nations SDGs for the 2030 horizon, including the 8 linked to SDG 6 (access to drinking water and sanitation).
