World Water Week Showed How the World Can Solve the Water Crisis

The world’s leading water event, World Water Week, was held Aug. 23-27 against a dramatic backdrop of unprecedented climate-induced disasters in many parts of the world, enhancing the importance of the week’s theme Building Resilience Faster. But when the week closed on Friday, it was on a cautiously optimistic note. World Water Week’s over 400 sessions, co-created with leading international organizations, demonstrated a number of solutions to for example water scarcity, the climate crisis and poverty. The results will now be used locally by the 13,000 participants from 188 countries but also fed into other global processes such as the United Nations’ upcoming high-level events on food and energy and the Climate Summit
