Union pour la Méditerrannée - Secteur de l&apos;eau - Towards the new Long Term Strategy for Water in the Mediterranean, Cairo, 2-3 Nov&apos;2009 <p> This Egyptian-Dutch Water Conference aims to contribute to the development of the Strategy for Water in the Mediterranean as well as the December 2009 UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen. It will do so by addressing the four themes of the Strategy. The Conference also offers an excellent opportunity to relate to international policies (including those of the European Union, Climate Convention, World Bank, UNEP, etc.).<br /> The Conference will be an open, multi-stakeholder event, though non-formal, in the process of the preparation of the Strategy. The latter is guided by a Water Expert Group within the Union for the Mediterranean. </p> <p> The Conference will be held on 2 and 3 November, in Cairo, Egypt. It is jointly organised by the:<br /> &middot; Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs<br /> &middot; Egyptian Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation<br /> &middot; Supported by: the Egyptian-Dutch Advisory Panel on Water Management, Cooperative Programme on Water and Climate, and the Global Water Partnership- Mediterranean. </p> <p> The Conference will be organised in conjunction with a meeting of the Circle of Mediterranean Parliamentarians for Sustainable Development (COMPSUD) and the Circle of Mediterranean Journalists for Environment and Sustainable Development (COMJESD). </p> Participation is solicited from policy makers (Water Experts), political leaders, scientists, international/ regional organisations, parliamentarians, NGO&rsquo;s and media, from multiple water-related backgrounds. 2010-07-16T09:56:21Z tag:www.ufm-water.net,2010-07-16:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water http://www.ufm-water.net/misc_/SEMIDE/Site.gif Union pour la Méditerrannée - Secteur de l&apos;eau A Joint Egyptian-Dutch Water Conference: “Towards the new Long Term Strategy for Water in the Mediterranean” tag:www.ufm-water.net,2009-08-26:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water/joint-egyptian-dutch-water-conference-towards-new 2009-08-26T14:20:16Z Jauad El KHARRAZ Jauad El KHARRAZ Announcement tag:www.ufm-water.net,2010-07-20:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water/strategie_Water_Conference_NL-Eg_Announcement.pdf 2010-07-20T20:06:35Z Jauad El KHARRAZ Jauad El KHARRAZ Conclusions of the 1st Water Expert Groupe Meeting, 7-8 Sept&apos;09, Athens tag:www.ufm-water.net,2009-09-16:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water/conclusions-1st-water-expert-groupe-meeting-7-8 2009-09-16T10:53:25Z Jauad El KHARRAZ Jauad El KHARRAZ Final draft agenda tag:www.ufm-water.net,2010-07-20:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water/Draft_Agenda.pdf 2010-07-20T20:27:35Z Jauad El KHARRAZ Jauad El KHARRAZ draft 29/10/09 Registration Form tag:www.ufm-water.net,2010-07-20:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water/Registration_Form_En.doc 2010-07-20T13:24:50Z Jauad El KHARRAZ Jauad El KHARRAZ Practical Information tag:www.ufm-water.net,2010-07-21:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water/Practical_Information_n.pdf 2010-07-21T15:16:43Z Jauad El KHARRAZ Jauad El KHARRAZ The Cairo Message: &quot;Coping with climate change is managing water for life&quot; tag:www.ufm-water.net,2010-07-20:/meetings/towards-new-long-term-strategy-water/Cairo_message_version_final.pdf 2010-07-20T20:19:30Z Eric MINO Eric MINO <p> Prepared during the Joint&nbsp;Egyptian‐Dutch&nbsp;Water&nbsp;Conference, 2-3 November 2009, Cairo </p>
