Cristina GUTIÉRREZ-CORTINES MEP
EPP-ED Group in the European Parliament

Cristina Gutierrez-Cortines MEP (Spain) is co-hosting a conference on the scarcity of water resources in the context of global warming on Wednesday 16th April.

Like many other challenges facing the world today, water doesn't stop at national borders, which is why action is needed on a global level to tackle water scarcity.
Together with government experts and academics in the fields of environment and agriculture, best practices and new techniques in Europe, Africa, and the Near East will be discussed with MEPs.

Among the issues discussed will be the feasibility of creating a future Water Community in the Near East as a catalyst for peace, using the model of Peace in Europe through Coal and Steel integration.

The conference will take place in room A5E2 of the European Parliament.
