The 3rd Asia International Water Week
The Asia International Water Week (AIWW), initiated by the Asia Water Council (AWC) since 2017, punctuates the international calendar in three years as Asia’s most influential gathering of water-related multi-stakeholders. The 2nd AIWW, was held in an online-offline hybrid way in Indonesia in March 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 3rd AIWW will be jointly hosted by AWC and the Ministry of Water Resources (MWR) of China and lead-organized by China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR), and is set to take place from Sept. 24 to 28, 2024, in Beijing.
The theme for the 3rd AIWW is “Enhancing Our Future Water Security”. Water security has been identified as the most fundamental factor and consideration for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the United Nations 2030 Agenda. However, water security is currently under multiple threats from climate change compounded with other factors such as public health emergencies and global economic depression. Time waits for no one. Enhancing future water security for both humans and nature needs to be translated to operational targets that can be monitored and guide concrete actions.
