World Water Week

World Water Week 2026 will progress towards a more just and equitable water secure future for all people and better care for our home planet, all set against the backdrop of climate change. At World Water Week we will recognize and support women’s rights and responsibilities relating to water, appreciate and learn from Indigenous science and knowledge, and share knowledge and learning between generations.

The sessions at World Water Week 2026 will discuss progress on water for people in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and look ahead to the successors to the SDGs. They will build on the work on equity at the 2023 UN Water Conference and contribute towards the work on this issue for the 2026 UN Water Conference.
