2nd Istanbul International Water Forum
The political outcome documents of the 5th World Water Forum are of great value for the international water community as they provide guidance to shape the global water strategies and actions. The Istanbul Ministerial Statement and the accompanying Istanbul Water Guide, which were circulated as a UN General Assembly document (A/63/852), include critical recommendations and commitments on global water issues and successfully reflect the Forum’s thematic outcomes. The Istanbul Water Consensus, a new compact for local and regional authorities to prepare action plans to analyse and cope with the challenges, asks signatory cities to commit to developing water management strategies suitable to work towards the Millennium Development Goals and to address urbanization, climate change and other global pressures at local level. The Consensus is still open to signature. These and other political outcome documents of the 5th World Water Forum are included in the Global Water Framework report, which can be accessed online at Global Water Framework report. The 2nd Istanbul International Water Forum will also be an opportunity to revisit the Istanbul Water Consensus and Istanbul Water Guide.
