It is envisaged that the conclusions of the seminar will provide inspiring messages to feed the programme of the UN International Year as well as the campaign for the WorldWaterDay 2013, both coordinated by UNESCO in co-operation with UNECE and with the support of UNDESA, UNW-DPAC, UNW-DPC, on behalf of UN-Water.
WorldWaterDay is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of water and advocating for the sustainable management of water resources.
