World Water Week 2025 will be held from August 24 to 28 in Stockholm, Sweden, with the option for global participants to join online. This year’s theme, “Water for Climate Action,” emphasizes the crucial role of water in addressing climate change and building sustainable futures. The event is organized annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and serves as one of the world’s leading forums for water-related dialogue.
The 2025 program will explore the full water cycle, with particular attention to protecting ecosystems, promoting fairness, and advancing climate justice. By bringing together policymakers, researchers, businesses, and community leaders, the event aims to bridge conversations and initiatives that link water management with climate action, while also building momentum toward major global gatherings such as the UN Water Conference in 2026.
Each year, World Water Week highlights a central theme that reflects global priorities and encourages collaboration. For 2025, the focus will be on using water as a driver of change, creating opportunities for cooperation, and fostering innovative solutions that deliver transformative impact worldwide.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in six seminar sessions, attend in person or virtually, and explore the event’s expo space. Both the physical and online platforms will provide opportunities to connect with experts, network with peers, and engage in meaningful discussions on the future of water and climate action.
