Each year, the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) hosts World Water Week, the world’s leading conference on global water issues. This year’s conference will be held virtually between 23 - 27 August. The conference focuses on the theme of Building Resilience Faster as we develop solutions to address climate change and water challenges.
