World Water Week 2024

The world’s leading water conference, World Water Week, takes place in Stockholm and online from 25-29 August, this year with the theme “Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future”. Conference registration is free for journalists and photographers.

Water is increasingly under stress. This necessitates an increase in cooperation around the perhaps 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.
