Climate Crisis = Water Crisis. Local Communities in the Driving Seat

SEI and Simavi would like to invite you for an informal get together during the Stockholm World Water Week to discuss how we can leverage grassroot solutions and to combine efforts to address the water crisis.

31 August 2022 at 17:00 CEST

ending at 20:30 CEST

Sweden and Online

The climate crisis is a water crisis. Extreme flooding, stronger cyclones, longer drought periods and record heat temperatures are just a few examples of its devastating impact around the world. The upcoming 9 months will be crucial. The Stockholm World Water Week, UN Climate Summit (COP 27) and UN Water 2023 Conference shall be pivotal moments in fighting the climate and water crises. We can only do this if we work together.
