World Water Week is the annual focal point of water issues across the globe, organized by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI).

This year, World Water Week (August 26-31) will address the theme “Water, Ecosystems, and Human Development.” 

Experts, practitioners, decision makers, business innovators, and young professionals from a range of sectors and countries come to Stockholm to network, exchange ideas, foster new thinking and develop solutions to the most pressing water-related challenges of today. We believe water is key to our future prosperity, and that together, we can achieve a water-wise world.
