World Water Week Conference Addresses Climate Issues. By Malin Rising, AP, August 21, 2009. "Thousands of scientists and experts urged world leaders Friday to include strategies for global water management in the planned Copenhagen climate agreement. Participants at the World Water Week conference said climate change will severely affect water supplies and poorer countries need support to help them adapt. Scientists at the weeklong conference also demanded more effective use of water across borders and called for better cooperation between officials involved in land and forest management, climate questions and water issues. Friday's appeal ended a weeklong conference of more than 2,500 scientists, politicians and officials in the Swedish capital."
