The topic was 'Water scarcity in Africa'. The Federal Chancellor's Commissioner for Africa, Günter Nooke, 13 ambassadors of African states, parliamentarians and representatives from science and development cooperation were invited.
The Round Table is intended to create a network and promote exchange on the topic. Further cooperation has already been agreed.
In the course of the meeting, the need to collect reliable meteorological and hydrological data was discussed. Climate change is also not yet sufficiently documented. It is affecting those states that already suffer from water shortages the most.
