To discuss global water issues at the highest level, involving international stakeholders, Hungary will be hosting the Budapest Water Summit 2016 (BWS 2016), a high-profile conference and Expo with the motto ”Water connects” between 28 and 30 November 2016.
Under the patronage of H.E. Mr János Áder, President of Hungary and Member of the High Level Panel on Water convened by the UN Secretary-General and the President of the World Bank Group, the organisers have invited water ministers from the United Nations member states and high-level representatives of UN specialised agencies and other international organisations to the Plenary Session of the Summit.
The mission of the Summit aims that instead of conflicts and global risks water shall be the source of cooperation, peace and development for all the countries committed to sustainable development. To this end, participants of the Budapest Water Summit 2016 will lay down their proposed solutions for the relevant international bodies by adopting the “Budapest Statement 2016”.
