Por qué asistir

Join senior voices to discuss how we can build water resilience through regional co-operation, sound governance, and practical pathways, shaping inputs to the 2026 UN Water Conference and the 2027 World Water Forum.

Descripción de la sesión

This high-level roundtable discusses the shifts needed in strategic direction for water security. Using the MENA as a region that is dynamic yet water-stressed as an example, the session will frame how to move from reliance to resilience through clearer governance, practical regional co-operation, and market and policy signals that can encourage innovation and finance, while maintaining service affordability and safeguarding nature. Panellists will reflect on, inter alia, diversification of supply and demand measures and the principles that guide collaboration under uncertainty. The aim is to reflect on learning in the region and beyond of connecting regional leadership with the international agenda to shape input into two upcoming milestones: the 2nd United Nations Water Conference (UAE, 2026) and the 11th World Water Forum (Riyadh, 2027).
