[1/4] The WWC is involved in the World Conservation Congress

To make water the commitment of all !

From 3 to 11 September, more than 1400 governmental, civil society and indigenous peoples organizations gathered at the World Conservation Congress in Marseille, which is also the city of the headquarters of the World Water Council (WWC), to define priorities and guide actions for conservation and sustainable development.

On this occasion, the World Water Council was mobilized to offer water an international platform through its booth and various events.

This action is in line with the WWC's approach to increasingly federate the world's actors around the absolute necessity to place water at the heart of public concerns and policies, with a view to establishing a fair balance between water for man and water for nature.
