On 5 December 2016, UNU-IAS, the Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) and CDP will co-organize the Japan Water Style Summit with CDP’s Japan Water Forum 2016, with additional support provided by the Global Environmental Outreach Center (GEOC). The event aims to promote the Water Project, which encourages different stakeholders including the private sector and local governments to work together on efforts to improve water circulation.
It will also include the CDP Japan Water Forum 2016, during which a report will be presented summarizing the state of play in the disclosure of corporate water risk management policies. There will also be a presentation by the UNU-IAS Water and Urban Initiative (WUI) project, as well as a poster exhibition on the UNU-IAS GEOC project.
The event will be held in Japanese only, with no interpretation provided.
