Contribute to the 2013 Budapest Water Summit youth forum !

!The registration for applying for funding for the Youth Forum of the Budapest Water Summit closes this Friday, 26 July!

 

From 8 to 11 October 2013, the Budapest Water Summit will take place with the participation of UN Member States, competent UN agencies and bodies as well as all concerned economic and social partners  (www.budapestwatersummit.hu). The Summit aims to contribute to the elaboration of the water-related Sustainable Development Goals and provide concrete guidance on the most pressing water issues – drinking water, sanitation, waste water treatment, integrated water management, international water cooperation, innovative water technologies – with a view to defining the priorities of global development policy post 2015.

During the summit, a Youth Forum will be organised, clearly contributing to the aims to provide a space for future decision-makers to develop, collect and exchange ideas and opinions during the Budapest Water Summit as well as to engage in the longer-term process involved in outlining the Budapest Recommendations.
