Stockholm World Water Week

Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future

Water is increasingly under stress. This necessitates an increase in cooperation around one of the most valuable resource on the planet. How such cooperation can take place is the focus of World Water Week 2024.

With the theme of “Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future”, the conference puts its focus at water cooperation in the broadest sense including human security, food and nutrition security, ecosystem security, energy security, and the relationship between all of these.

Established in 1991, World Water Week attracts a large and diverse audience of experts and decision makers. In 2023, 15.000 participants from 193 countries and territories joined the conference, including ministers, leading scientists, representatives from NGOs, civil society, and Indigenous Peoples, as well as the President of the UN General Assembly.

The conference programme includes high-level panels, the awarding of the prestigious Stockholm Junior Water Prize, talk shows, exhibitions, workshops, seminars, film screenings, and discussions.

Netherlands Pavilion

The Partners for Water programme will organise and host the Netherlands Pavilion on behalf of the Government of the Netherlands.

The Pavilion will act as a lively meeting point: a place to meet and greet Dutch and international water experts, and share knowledge and expertise through presentations and discussions.

Registration

You can join the conference both online and in Stockholm, Sweden. The vast majority of sessions will be accessible online. To make World Water Week more inclusive, online participation is free of charge. Registration is required.
