Earlier this year, United Nations University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH) produced a book titled The global water crisis: Addressing an urgent security issue together with the Walter & Duncan Gordon Foundation and the InterAction Council, a group of former heads of state and government.

The book was presented to the IAC at their 30^th annual plenary meeting earlier this year in May and was well received by its members.

UNU-INWEH will be hosting an event on September 11, 2012 for the book’s official launch and wide release. The event is being held together with the Walter & Duncan Gordon Foundation and the InterAction Council.

UNU-INWEH is honoured to be welcoming The Rt. Honourable Mr. Jean Chrétien, former Prime Minister of Canada and co-chair of the InterAction Council, to be attending as the keynote speaker.
