Green Talks- Water Sustainability and Clean Oceans, Speech of Ambassador Christian Berger
Dear Ministers, dear colleagues and friends,
For thousands of years wise people in this part of the world have emphasised the importance of water as a source of life, a source of everything. Water is the prerequisite for human survival and dignity. It is fundamental to the resilience of society and the environment in which we live. Nowhere is this more in evident than in Egypt, the gift of the River Nile as Herodotus wrote more than 25 centuries ago. Water is the life-blood of the economy, industries, societal functions, nature as well as health and wellbeing of our citizens.
