The World Water Forum brings together participants from politics, multilateral institutions, academia, civil society and the private sector. The 2022 event will focus on the theme "Water Security for Peace and Development", and will consider four priorities: water security and sanitation, cooperation, rural development, and means tools. Building upon previous World Water Forums, the 9th Forum will, through an innovative framework, seek to identify, promote and implement concrete responses and actions for water and sanitation in an integrated way.
