Water, Development and US Policy - 2006
Few
issues matter more to public health, economic opportunity, and
environmental integrity than the availability of clean water and
sanitation. With the 4th World Water Forum scheduled for Mexico
city in March 2006, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy
Solutions at Duke’s Nicholas School and the Aspen Institute conducted
a multi-stakeholder dialogue to help highlight the importance of
global water issues, suggest steps to provide services more rapidly
and effectively, and to identity and draw attention to constructive
ways the U.S. government and other U.S. participants can take part
in the Forum. This report is a summary of their conclusions from
that April gathering at the Aspen Institute’s Wye River Conference
Center.
