Stockholm World Water Week 2024 will be held from 25-29 August 2024 in Stockholm and online. This year’s theme, “Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future,” asks us to recognize the regional and global interconnectivity of communities and nations and underscores the collaborative effort needed to achieve a peaceful and sustainable future.

　Since 2018, the APWF Secretariat (JWF) has been the regional coordinator’s role for Asia and the Pacific under the MoU with Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). Following this year’s theme, the APWF Secretariat will organize four hybrid Asia-Pacific Focus Sessions with our partner organizations.
