The World Water Week conference commenced this week in Stockholm in Sweden. This annual conference is organized and hosted by SIWI, World Water Week is the leading annual global event for concretely addressing the planet’s water issues such as water insecurities and water quality and related concerns of international development. World Water Week 2019 will take place 25-30 August, under the theme "Water for society - including all".
If it wasn’t for my other commitments I would have been in Sweden this week attending this prestigious and very important conference addressing global water issues. The water topic is more relevant to me as a South African citizen because water is a scarce resource in South Africa and due to climate change this situation is getting worse and worse each year.
Role players , Captains of the water sector and experts from the world’s scientific, business, government and civic communities convened in Stockholm to exchange views, experiences and shape joint solutions to global water challenges. World Water Week 2018 attracted over 3,300 participants and 370 convening organizations from 135 countries all over the world.
Functioning as an open and dynamic platform, the World Water Week enables participants to build capacity, form partnerships and review implementation, thereby advancing the world’s water, environment, health, livelihood and poverty reduction agendas.
