International Year of Freshwater
The International Year of Freshwater (IYFW) was officially launched on 12 December 2002, with simultaneous celebrations occurring at the United Nations in New York, and UNESCO in Paris. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the year 2003 as the International Year of Freshwater to increase awareness of the importance of sustainable freshwater use, management and protection.

The publication by the United Nations system of the World Water Development Report will be a major focus of the Year's public information activities. Its first edition will be launched at the Third World Water Forum in Kyoto, Japan in March 2003.
