“International Year of Water Cooperation”

In December 2010, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2013 the United Nations International Year of Water Cooperation (Resolution A/RES/65/154).

The Year is led by UNESCO because of the Organization’s unique multidisciplinary approach, which blends the natural, and social sciences, education, culture and communication.

Given the intrinsic nature of water as a transversal and universal element, the United Nations International Year on Water Cooperation naturally would embrace and touch upon all these aspects. To find out more visit Water Cooperation 2013 website.
