SIWI World Water Week Closing

As the world's leading annual water resources activities, the World Water Week closed in Stockholm on Friday, which posed an imminent danger and brought hope to us. 1/3 of the 4000 participants from 138 countries were less than 35 years old. They received great attention during the conference. Sara Lowgren of Water Youth Network said at the closing ceremony on Friday: "It's very encouraging that young professionals are beginning to share their experiences and get more and more attention."

On Thursday, Professor Johan Rockstrom told young participants: "Only you can truly represent the future." He assured the audience that science tells us that if we can halve our carbon emissions in the next decade, we still have a chance to save the planet, but we must seize this opportunity period.

In more than 250 World Water Week meetings, many focused on water resources as a solution to the challenges of climate change and food shortages. The theme of this event is "Water for Society: Including All" (the meaning of water to society: covering all people). The research published in the activity reveals the importance of combining all age, gender and social group perspectives. Torgny Holmgren, executive director of the International Water Resources Research Institute (SIWI), calls it the essence of good water governance. He added: "compared with previous years, I have seen people start to revalue the role of government, city and local communities, and there are many inspiring examples." (Holmgren Holmgren)

At the closing ceremony, Parameswaran Iyer from the government said they had made great efforts to ensure that all Indians could get clean water and safe sanitation before 2024. "In a campaign that started on July 1, we sent 1,200 government officials to the scene to talk to people about water resources," he said. That's how we change our behavior.
