International Conference: Stockholm World Water Week 2018
<p>The <b>World Water Week (WWW)</b> organized by SIWI is the annual conference for the globe’s water issues. The 2018 topic is “<b>Water, ecosystems and human development</b>”. Under a systems perspective - water and ecosystems from source to sea - we need to master risk management and resilience building to cope with change and reduce the impacts of disasters. Well understood and managed ecosystems can play an important role in adaptation to climate change. More information on the <a href="http://www.worldwaterweek.org/" target="_blank">WWW online</a> </p><p><br></p><p>The <b>Swiss Water Partnership (SWP) including members of the Swiss NGO DRR Platform</b> will participate at the WWW through an event on “<b>Nature-based Solutions for Water</b>: A sustainable & efficient approach to DRR”. Throughout the world, conventional responses to growing demands for water and food have generally been the investment in engineered or “grey” infrastructure. However, these measures and their maintenance are costly and often lack sustainability. In the context of disaster-prone environments, Nature-based solutions for Water allow us to address root causes, and reduce the risks of disasters. Based on case studies in Switzerland and abroad, the event will explore different components for successful implementation of Nature-based Solutions for Water.
