Workshop on the UNECE/WHO Protocol on Water and Health in Mediterranean countries
In 2023, the meeting of the UfM Regional Platform on Water (RPWater) was organized back-to-back with the 1st Regional Roundtable on the WEFE Nexus. This model worked well, allowing access of RPWater members to in-depth discussions on a relevant topic, and generating efficiency gains in the organization of international events. In 2024, RPWater-14 will be organized back-to-back with a workshop hosted by the Government of Portugal on the UNECE/WHO Protocol on Water and Health in Mediterranean countries that will take place on 4th June (workshop discussions) and the morning of 5th June (field visit). Participants in RPWater-14 are welcome to join the workshop discussions.
