Annex .............................................................................................................................................. 168 ikon v2.indd 3 07.08.2009 10:28 Abdullah GÜL PRESIDENT of TURKEY In March 2009, the international water community assembled in the magnificent city of Istanbul, where continents, cultures and civilizations meet. The 5th World Water Forum was an opportunity for over 30,000 participants from 185 countries to exchange experiences and ideas through open and all-inclusive dialogue in view of “Bridging Divides for Water”. Assuring universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation is, with no doubt, one of the most challenging items on the world’s agenda. Moreover, water scarcity compounded by declining quality is a vital issue that confronts many people and ecosystems in our planet. In addition to the negative impacts of the climate change and other global changes on water resources, their unsustainable use and mismanagement are aggravating the worldwide water situation. In this context, the 5th World Water Forum mobilized a wide range of stakeholders in order to seek solutions to the challenges relating to water with the help of their cumulative experience and with their motivation for coordinated impetus and action. It is our earnest conviction that the messages and recommendations from Istanbul will facilitate the efforts towards global water security and sustainable development. Hence, I wish to express my gratitude to all individuals, institutions and organizations for their dedication and invaluable contributions to the success of the 5th Forum. For the first time in Istanbul, the World Water Fora hosted a number of Heads of States and Governments together with some high level representatives of International Organizations. The outcome of this meeting, the Istanbul Heads of State Declaration on Water, called on all nations to join efforts in order to develop a global framework for addressing

    World Water Forum Launches Global Quest for Solutions to the World’s Water Issues: Marseille kicks off preparation for the 6th Forum in 2012 • In developing countries, 80% of health problems are linked to inadequate water and sanitation. • In Africa alone, up to 5% of GDP is lost annually to water-borne diseases and poor sanitation. • One dollar invested in sanitation can save between US$3 to US$34 in medical costs and lost productivity. • Agriculture represents 70% of total water use, but 50% of food is wasted between farm and fork. Investing in food-chain efficiency is crucial. • 3 billion people depend on the sustainability of 263 river basins and hundreds of underground water reservoirs shared by several countries. Paris/Marseille, 2 June 2010. Over 400 ‘water leaders’ from around the world will gather in France from 3-4 June to launch the preparation for the 6th World Water Forum (Marseille, 2012). With over 2.5 billion people suffering water-related stress every day, solutions must come faster and at a larger scale then ever before. For that reason, the organizers of the World Water Forum are launching a world wide quest to find practical solutions to today’s water challenges. In Paris tonight, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France will celebrate the Kick-off by offering the decisive support of his country as the host of the 2012 event. The World Water Forum is organized every three years by the World Water Council, together with a host country and host city, counting regularly over 20,000 participants. Four hundred Kick-off participants, representing several dozen countries and organizations, will take part in workshops during two days in Marseille, to work on the global water priorities and to debate what targets can be set and achieved.

  • Daegu-Gyeongbuk Water Action for Sustainable Cities and Regions
    Daegu-Gyeongbuk Water Action for Sustainable Cities and Regions Draft as of 14 April 2015 Local and Regional Authorities play a vital role in ensuring water security in a context where already more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and urbanization is accelerating. At the same time water and sanitation services are lagging behind and infrastructure systems are often in dire need of repair or replacement. While the majority of Local and Regional Authorities is in charge of providing water and sanitation services for their populations, they are also responsible for a much broader palette of water-related tasks, including local economic development, provision of energy, ensuring adequate access to food, poverty reduction, environmental management, resilience to climate change and disasters, and addressing public health issues. Since 2006, Local and Regional Authorities have been joining forces to promote sustainable practices in water management through dedicated events at the triennial World Water Forums. In 2009, at the Fifth World Water Forum, Local and Regional Authorities endorsed the Istanbul Water Consensus, expressing their commitment to sustainable urban water management. Since then, over 1,000 Local and Regional Authorities from all around the world have signed the Consensus. Five months before final decisions will be taken by the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September 2015, it can be expected that the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will include several water-related goals, amongst them one which is specifically dedicated to water. If adopted they will open a new phase of strong commitment for the achievement of sustainable water management by relevant stakeholders at all levels and in all sectors, including for universal access to water and sanitation.
