Stockholm World Water Week, 17-23 August

The World Water Week in Stockholm is the leading annual global meeting place for capacity-building, partnership-building and follow-up on the implementation of international processes and programmes in water and development. The world community of water and development professionals will once again make Stockholm their home from August 17-23, 2008, focusing on this year's theme: "A Clean Healthy World and Sanitation for All".

Steering sustainable development for a clean and healthy world is a challenging task across the broad, cross-cutting and multifaceted scope of water and related issues. The wide-ranging nature of the challenges in water and development, and the latest progress made by each and every stakeholder, will be on display in Stockholm. Topics related to agriculture, biodiversity, sanitation, climate change, drinking water, economics, ecosystems, finance, governance, pollution, poverty reduction, stakeholder involvement, technology and water resources management will be among the issues on the agenda.
