The main goal of the Forum is to favour far-reaching debates and critical discussions on different points of view concerning scientific and technological aspects of energy production, transmission and consumption in Asia, OECD-Pacific and CIS Countries, contemporary tackling economic, social and environmental aspects. The results and recommendations emerging will be forwarded to the ASEM Summit to be held in October 2000 in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Nowadays, water resources are one of the most delicate issues on the international scene, since they concern both developing and industrialised countries and they keep into account not only environmental and economic aspects, but also the social and cultural dynamics of decision making processes. That is why the main goal of the Forum is to favour a comprehensive discussion and a critical comparison of different approaches to water problems and strategies.
