Seminar at the World Water Week 2014 // UN-Water Stakeholder Dialogue: The Water-Energy-Food-Nexus and the Post-2015 Development Agenda
In this fifth UN-Water Stakeholder Dialogue, representatives from Germany and other Member States, civil society, international organizations and other major relevant stakeholders will discuss how to best capture the interlinkages between water and other sectors such as energy and food/agriculture.
Time & Room
Wednesday 14:00-17:30 Room K11 Water, energy and food security are closely interrelated and among the world's pre-eminent challenges. They have their place high up on the international agenda and regularly feature in important conferences and policy processes, sparked substantially by the Bonn Nexus Conference, organized by Germany in 2011. These issues are highly relevant for the Post-2015 Development Agenda when aiming towards building resilient societies, eradicating poverty and fostering sustainable development.{http://siwi-videohub.creo.tv/i/Mpfnru-5MJSVXTZTbx_idQ|Click to see the live broadcast}
