World Water Week 2021 | Virtual

📅 23- 27 August 2021 
Virtual

Within a decade, people must rethink everything from how they grow food and generate energy to how they travel and use natural resources. This will require innovation on an epic scale and collaboration between people from all over the world with many different skills and backgrounds. Since all these transformations are closely linked to water, World Water Week has an important role to play as a meeting place for collaboration and learning.

On 23-27 August will be the program with the theme Building Resilience Faster. Here are more than 300 sessions on a broad range of topics, curated by SIWI but convened by world-leading organizations that share their latest insights. Much of the program revolves around five top challenges that require immediate attention – learn more here about how they are linked to water.

The conference is held online and thanks to the generosity of the convening organizations, all sessions will be available free of charge to registered participants. They do however encourage participants to purchase a Networking Pass, to get access to the full World Water Week experience. The Networking Pass opens the door to discussions, speed networking, post-session conversations, and other interactive activities that allow you to expand both your knowledge and your network.

World Water Week is known as an unusually friendly and hands-on conference where it is easy to meet people from all over the world. We are proud to welcome a very heterogeneous crowd – students, CEOs, top politicians, grassroots groups, researchers, intergovernmental organizations, and many others. One-third of participants are under 35; almost half are women. Some participants are distinguished authorities on different water issues, while others have only just discovered that water is crucial to something else that they care deeply about, like climate policy, poverty reduction, or city planning.
