The 6th World Water Forum Thematic Targets now published

The Forum priorities - driving the contributions of the world water community towards a more healthy, peaceful, prosperous and resilient blue planet – are now translated in concrete thematic targets!

Building on the 6^th World Water Forum’s 12 priorities for action (PFA) and 3 conditions for success (CS), the Thematic Process working groups have developed and agreed on 103 concrete targets, to be reached through an action plan and within a defined timeframe. These targets have been identified through a Wide-Involvement Stakeholder Exchanges (WISE) approach.

In partnership with the International Forum Committee and the Forum secretariat based in Marseille, over 300 institutions, non-governmental organisations and international networks will now be working together - in 150 working groups - coming from all continents and all fields, technical and scientific, social and educational, humanitarian, and dedicated to identifying key solutions and commitments to help reach these ambitious targets …

“The thereby gathered international water community has now agreed on the specific goals to work towards in all fields in order to address the global water challenges. The definition and selection of these targets is a key milestone on the road towards the 6^th World Water Forum’s engagements and solutions implementation,” says François Lacroix, Programme Director of the International Forum Committee.
