Congress of French Mayors

The 94th Congress of French Mayors, through more than two dozen debates, workshops and info-points, will treat all subjects of interest for both elected officials and citizens.
This event will take place from Nov. 22 to 24, in Paris (France).

The 6^th World Water Forum will attend the Congress of French Mayors through 2 major events:

- the French National Office for Water (ONEMA) will hold a roundtable, on Tuesday, November 22nd: "International Solidarity: what role for local authorities to facilitate access to water and sanitation?",

- an information point will also be held Wednesday, November 23rd from 9:30 to 10:45.

On this occasion, local and regional authorities are invited to sign the Istanbul Water Consensus (IWC).
Major outcome of the local and regional authorities’ political process of the 5^th World Water Forum, the IWC formalises the water commitment of local and regional authorities who wish to adapt their water infrastructure and services to major challenges such as climate change, urban growth, the depletion and pollution of water resources or ageing of existing infrastructure.

Today, 787 cities around the world signed the Istanbul Water Consensus.
