Regional workshop on water and sustainable development in
the Mediterranean
 |
 |
 |
The kick-off meeting of MEDITEP (Mediterranean Partnership for sustainable energy development) was held in Carthage, Tunisia, from 16th to 17th of December 2007. Plan Bleu organized a workshop composed of 2 sessions and dealing with « Water, energy and climate change in the Mediterranean »: one session was devoted to water needs for energy production and the second one to energy needs for water production and mobilization. |
||
The presentations and discussions underlined that given the context of worsening in water shortage on the one hand , and of increasing in water and energy demands on the other hand, water/energy/climate change interactions will probably grow stronger. This acknowledgement reinforces the necessary implementation of strategies based on water demand management, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy. It also calls for a strengthening of knowledge and regional solidarity regarding the “water energy system” in the Mediterranean.
