World Water Week 2023 (20.-24.8.) is focused on innovation at a time of unprecedented challenges. The theme Seeds of Change: Innovative Solutions for a Water-Wise World invites us to rethink how we manage water. Which ideas, innovations, and governance systems will we need in a more unstable and water scarce world?
The Water Convention secretariat will organize and contribute to several sessions at the World Water Week 2023 as described in the table below. All events are available on-site and online (session links below). For more information regarding the full programme of the World Water Week, please access the following link.
