UN-Water at IFAT
In order to strengthen cooperation and knowledge exchange between UN organizations and the private sector, UNW-DPC has coordinated on behalf of UN-Water to secure the presence and participation of UN-Water Members and Partners at the biennial event since 2010. In 2014 the presence included a high-level UN-Water Seminar on the topic of “Water and Energy” as well as the UN-Water Center – a pavilion for ten participating UN-Water Members and Partners. Further background information and materials for the event can be found below, including a touch screen application prepared specifically for IFAT, photos and video materials from the event and the presentations from the UN-Water Seminar.
