4°
FOUM MONDIALE SULL'ACQUA
Dal 16 al 22 marzo a Città del Messico,
è riunito il Forum Mondiale dell'Acqua
This is the last day of the conference, not counting
the Formal Closing tomorrow, which I can only attend
part of, and is unlikely to be substantive beyond
the formal declarations. Today's theme is Risk Management
and the geographic area focused on is the Asia Pacific
Region.
As an environmentalist, as we all like to think of
ourselves, I have availed myself of editorial privilege
and expanded somewhat more on climate change and its
effect on the planet, through water availability,
than on some of the specific Asian problems.
One reason (let's see if this is printed), is that
I found some of the Asian presenters so difficult
to understand in English that I had to resort to earphones
and the Spanish translation to understand what they
were saying.
Special thanks to the interpreters who did a truly
remarkable job (unless they made it all up).
I have a very fond spot for Asia - I merely think
that several presentations could have been prepared
with the audience in mind . . . .
