World Water Week, Stockholm, September 5–11

15 July 2010, Water, SYKE

The World Water Week in Stockholm is the annual meeting place for the planet’s most urgent water-related issues. Organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), it brings together 2500 experts, practitioners, decision makers and business innovators from around the globe to exchange ideas, foster new thinking and develop solutions. The theme for the 2010 World Water Week in Stockholm, September 5-11, is “The Water Quality Challenge - Prevention, Wise Use and Abatement”.

Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) and The SCENES Project (Water Scenarios for Europe and Neighbouring Countries), European Water Partnership (EWP), European Environment Agency (EEA) and Finnish Water Forum (FWF) organize a side event "Water Futures of Europe and Neighbouring Regions" on 6 September at 12.15.

The event aims at summarising possible futures of the availability of good quality water in Europe and neighbouring regions under changes of several drivers (climate, demography, agriculture, tourism, industry, technology). Presentations and discussions will also explore policy implications of the envisioned water futures.
