This allowed us to conduct initial meetings for the preparation of the 10th World Water Forum of Bali, which will be held in 2024.
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the 9th World Water Forum, Loïc Fauchon stated four strong points, as guidelines for the Council in favor of water.
• Securing the resource
"Innovate and innovate again: pump, transfer, desalinate, recycle, and increase the amount of water available" while "disrupting our uses, our habits, and our behaviors" in order to consume better and less.
