People from all over the world can now start participating in the 8th World Water Forum, which will take place from March 18 to 23, 2018 in Brasilia, under the main theme “Sharing Water”. The Forum’s International Steering Committee has launched the ‘Your Voice’ platform, created to promote broad debate on the event’s central themes. CEBDS is leading the sustainability focal group of the world’s largest event on water, which will take place for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere.
The tool allows citizens to share ideas, experiences and solutions and make suggestions that can be included in the global meeting. The dialogues will take place in discussion rooms with six different themes: climate, development, ecosystems, finance, people and urban. The results of the online discussions on the platform will be taken directly to the preparatory meetings of the Forum.
The 'Your Voice' platform will be available in Portuguese and English on the website http://www.worldwaterforum8.org/ and will also be translated into over 90 languages to facilitate participation by people from most countries in the world.
