– AQUA PROGRAM 2021 Completed!
AQUA PROGRAM is a joint project between F.D.C. PRODUCTS INC. jewelry brand 4℃ and the Japan Water Forum. Its aim is to empower people in developing countries and bring them “beauty” and “inspiration” by resolving the serious water problems they face.
Since its establishment in 2008, several projects have been carried out in the Republic of Kiribati, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. We have continued to work in a rural community in Bangladesh since 2017. In the 2021 program, rainwater harvesting tanks were installed in 50 households and training in operations and maintenance skills was carried out.

– Pathways for quality-oriented growth through a resilient and water-secure Asia and the Asia-Pacific – the outcomes of the side event in the Asia Water Forum 2022 –
Asia-Pacific Water Forum, which Japan Water Forum has served as the secretariat, organized the session about Pathways for quality-oriented growth through a resilient and water-secure Asia and the Pacific as the side event of the Asian Development Bank’s Asia Water Forum 2022 on 8th August 2022. To deal with the challenges in governance and finance for a quality-oriented society from a water perspective, each presenter and panelist presented the roles of science by introducing their projects and how their scientific knowledge could be used for informed decision-making. We then discussed the catalyst for integrating such scientific expertise and local socio-economic and environmental analysis for climate resilient and water-secure pathways and how we could nurture the talents, including youth, who can seek out locally-tailored approaches.
