World Water Week 2025 will take place from August 24-28 , bringing together water experts, policymakers, and stakeholders from around the globe both in Stockholm, Sweden and online. This year's overarching theme is "Water for Climate Action," reflecting the urgent need to address the interconnected challenges of water security and climate change. The event will focus on addressing the linked emergencies of climate change, environment degradation and biodiversity loss, emphasising both mitigation and adaptation, alongside the broader goal of enhancing resilience.
World Water Week is organised and led by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and has been running as a week-long global conference held each year since1991. Around 1500 on-site and online participants attended the conference in 2023, with representatives from business, governments, water management, and science sectors coming together to tackle some of the world's most pressing water-related challenges.
The week also features the prestigious Stockholm Water Prize ceremony, presented by Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf.
