The
World Water Week in Stockholm is the leading
annual global meeting place for capacity-building, partnership-building
and follow-up on the implementation of international processes
and programmes in water and development. The theme of this
particular week is Progress and Prospects on Water:
For a Clean and Healthy World with Special Focus on Sanitation.
The
World Water Week in Stockholm promotes the exchange of views
and experiences between the scientific, business,
policy and civil society communities, thereby advancing
the water, environment, health, livelihoods and poverty
reduction agendas.It does so by:
- Building
capacity for different professions to act positively
by facilitating an increased knowledge and a deeper understanding
of the links between water, society, environment
and economy.
-
Promoting new, pro-active partnerships and alliances
between individuals and organisations from different fields
of expertise and strengthening existing relationships.
-
Reviewing the implementation of actions,
commitments and decisions in international processes and
by different stakeholders in response to the challenges.
The
World Water Week’s basic perspective is global but acknowledges
that there are similarities and differences between regions
of the world, phases of development, livelihoods,
political systems and climatic conditions. Therefore
the linkages between them are explored.
The annual theme builds upon and provides a continuum with
the rich legacy of meetings held annually in Stockholm since
1991, connecting past and present with holistic, future-oriented
water-related perspectives.
As an annual platform, and in every respect, the World Water
Week highlights concrete work that matters for the
poor, for the environment and for our shared future.
 Programme:
The
week consists of morning, lunch and afternoon seminars. There
is a large range of seminars to choose from, as they run simultaneously.
