About The Week
Since 1991, World Water Week, curated by SIWI, has convened global water actors for idea sharing and information exchange. With climate challenges moving from urgent to crisis, this year's gathering will focus on "Seeds of Change: Innovative Solutions for a Water-Wise World."
The Water Action Agenda and its voluntary commitments will feature in The Week's programme, as well as updates and stories on moving water and its related sustainable development goals forward.
