Citizen's Forum World Water Forum 8 closed

Today the Citizens Forum of World Water Forum 8 has concluded. During the closing ceremony in the Water Arena of the Citizens Village, the Chair of the Citizens Commission, Lupercio Ziroldi Antonio recalled the many activities, both nationally and internationally that were organised during and preceding the Forum to include civil society in all the processes and stimulate them to engage in the sustainable use and the protection of water resources. He highlighted the success of the Citizens Village to inform the Brazilian public at large.

As Citizens Commission we look back on an intense and fruitful period with ups and downs, but always a cooperative spirit to overcome the challenges ahead. I have only been with the Citizens Commission during its final year leading up to the Forum. I would like to commend my Brazilian and international colleagues for the partnership and cooperation.
