AGWA Needs Your Help for Effective Climate Action Today – and for Tomorrow
AGWA was the world’s first organization to recognize the connection between water and climate action, and we’ve made that synergy the center of our work for more than 15 years. What seemed like a crazy idea then now seems like foresight.
We’ve had profound impacts on both the climate change and water communities – governance, engineering, ecology and hydrology, policy and economics. We have influenced billions globally and changed the direction of international policy. But our best indicator of success has been through you – our members network. Serving you with insights and tools, and in turn seeing the transformation you’ve been making in your work, day in and day out.
To match the expanding scope of the climate crisis and meet the increasing demand for AGWA’s expertise, we are redoubling our efforts to grow AGWA and expand our footprint. We hope that you can support this growth with a financial contribution to AGWA.
AGWA is in the early stages of forming a sister organization registered in the EU to open AGWA to new partnerships and opportunities for climate resilience programming — both within Europe and globally. Your support will help us achieve this goal.
Freshwater resources are critical to addressing the adaptation and mitigation challenges facing society today. Through a vast network of members with expertise across disciplines, sectors, and geographies, AGWA conducts vital work to improve climate action and governance, with a focus on adaptation and mitigation.
Indeed, with 2024 marking the hottest year on record, the human, financial, and environmental costs of climate inaction are rapidly escalating. The UN reported that extreme weather displaced over 800,000 people in 2024. In the US alone, 2025 has already seen unprecedented financial damage from climate disasters. The human faces of those impacts globally have no monetary value.
Our ambition must rise to meet this growing crisis and ensure that communities don’t just survive, but thrive. That’s been AGWA’s mission from the beginning.
To match the expanding scope of the climate crisis and meet the increasing demand for AGWA’s expertise, we are redoubling our efforts to grow AGWA and expand our footprint. We hope that you can support this growth with a financial contribution to AGWA.
A final thought: AGWA is a network, three thousand people strong. Not everyone who needs our support – our insights, our tools, the ability to hop onto a call – can afford it. Your donation, along with your continued engagement, supports AGWA’s ever-expanding operations, core initiatives, and climate resilience priorities worldwide. As we scale up our work to meet ever-increasing crises with solutions, your contributions support our efforts to improve water resilience globally.

We are grateful to have you alongside us as we work to build a more climate-resilient, water-wise world, and we truly appreciate your continued support as AGWA grows as an organization.
Thank you,
