World Water Week is an annual event organized and hosted by Stockholm International Water Institute. The event brings together business, policy, science and civil society to discuss and learn about climate change, water and sustainability issues, as well as address pressing water-related challenges.
This year, SEI will host several sessions during the week with topics on sanitation, blue and green finance, visualization of water narratives and Sustainable Development Goals. Read more about each of the events below and participate in what promises to be an intense week of learning and networking under the theme “Building Resilience Faster”.
This session will present emerging findings from a large review of gender and social equality outcomes of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions. A panel session will lead to parallel discussions of the implications for better interventions and policies, evaluation practice and research, as well as a participatory validation of a theory of change. Read more below.
Past event / Welcome to a super-interactive session as part of SIWI's World Water Week on evaluating gender and social equality outcomes in WASH interventions.
This session explores how best to facilitate understanding of, and opportunities for, urban sanitation-related climate financing; and prepare and implement urban sanitation projects that maximize access through resilient, low-emission systems.

To achieve effective Climate Change adaptation and mitigation in the water sector, systematic collaboration among aid agencies, NGOs, governments and local actors needs to become the new normal. Based on learnings from a recent publication, this interactive session focuses on the potential for maximum synergies between SDG6 and SDG13.
Past event / Collaboration among aid agencies, NGOs, governments and local actors is key to achieve effective climate change adaptation and mitigation in the water sector.
Applying a source-to-sea lens to identify priorities for development and investment through the source-to-sea continuum can contribute to economic, social and environmental sustainability. However, current financing practices shy away from considering upstream-downstream impacts. This event will explore the rationales, challenges and opportunities for incorporating a source-to-sea perspective when assessing and funding projects.
Past event / Welcome to an event to explore the rationales, challenges and opportunities for incorporating a source-to-sea perspective when assessing and funding projects.
This session will introduce conceptualization and application of transformative water governance principles and building blocks, on ongoing water governance research in Asia and Africa.

In a world facing climate change, recurrent crises and pandemics, this session will bring together thought leaders, policymakers and practitioners representing various sectors from the freshwater and ocean communities to share their vision, reinforced by concrete experiences of how we can successfully adopt a source-to-sea approach when designing actions that tackle the climate-land-water-ocean-biodiversity Sustainable Development Goals.
Past event / This World Water Week event will explore the benefits of adopting the source-to-sea approach when designing actions that tackle Sustainable Development Goals.
Human rights defenders, members of parliaments, practitioners, civil servants, urban planners, community leaders, researchers and members of intergovernmental organizations are invited to put their heads together and co-create a tangible tool to tell the story of urban water flows.
Past event / Join us to co-create a tangible visualization tool to enable more holistic urban water management and advocate for the human right to water and sanitation.
We will explore through narrative how resilience is built in the Campoalegre watershed, Colombia and the Songkhram watershed, northeast Thailand through the transfer of water and water-mediated resources in and out of the watershed boundary.
Past event / This session will explore narratives on how resilience is built through the transfer of water and water-mediated resources in and out of watershed boundaries.
This seminar will explore how to best form water policies and investments to build resilience in the face of multiple and cascading crises. Which policy mechanisms, financial incentives and new innovations are required to foster synergy and avoid trade-offs between mitigation and adaptation?
Past event / Join this session to discuss the future of creating synergies between adaptation and mitigation of resilience-centric water governance mechanisms.
All sessions are open to registered attendees of World Water Week and will be held virtually. Sign up on the World Water Week website.
Project / SEI research team will synthesize the existing evidence about gender and social equality (GSE) outcomes of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions.
Initiative / Our work aims to transform current decision making around access to water, the greatest risk to global prosperity, and addressing the SDGs.
Perspective / Why should we rethink the old boundaries of water governance?
Feature / SEI was invited to share research insights with the International Development Association and Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Project / The Resilient Coasts Caribbean Sea project will develop Living Labs for coastal ecosystem management using nature-based solutions.
