The panel seminar, organized by K-Water with the help of OECD, will focus on financing and innovative solutions within the Sustainable Development Agenda. In order to advance the agenda, stakeholders must identify solutions for sustainable financing, improved efficiency, and climate change adaptation.

Additionally, the presentation will highlight good water management practices as developed through GIWEH’s Flagship Project, “Support the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.” Please come and participate in this exciting event!

At the Stockholm World Water Week, GIWEH aims to increase its network and build partnerships, keep up with cutting-edge technologies and solutions, and track the focus of the global agenda. We look forward to sharing our projects and ideas with you!
