2009/05/12: Co-ordinating Policies for Forest and Water Resources

Forest management, supply of good-quality fresh water, and watershed management are closely related. At the most recent Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE), in Warsaw in 2007, the ministers endorsed a Resolution on Forests and Water. As an important step towards implementing this commitment, a workshop on Forests and Water begins today in Antalya, Turkey.
