Ministry of the Environment Japan

Co-organisers
Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)
Asian Institute of Techology (AIT)


Background
The water environment in Asia is facing severe, worsening problems such as poor water quality, mainly in urban areas, and a shortage of usable water. However, the stakeholders involved in these issues are not sharing their experience and expertise and thus there has been a distinct lack of action to make use of the knowledge gained so far. It is important to take action towards water environment conservation for the purpose of pursing sustainable management in the region based on the experience and expertise of various stakeholders.


Purpose

This forum aims to promote water environment governance by promoting dialogue among various stakeholders in Asian monsoon regions (Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, south Asia), developing human resources and strengthening ties for the future amongst people responsible for improving water environment governance in this region.
