Following the successful conclusion of the 2023 World Conference on Drowning Prevention (WCDP) in Perth in December last year, the organisers of the event are now inviting input on the #WCDP2023 Conference Statement.

In addition to reinforcing the highlights from the plenary and concurrent sessions, the conference statement outlines a call for global strategy and mobilising local action while also providing ideas for stakeholders to ponder between now and the 2025 WCDP.

Feedback is invited up to 18th February 2024.
