Raising the voice of water
How we manage water will determine if we achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the climate targets. SIWI participates in different international processes to raise awareness of the role of water.
Supporting better water management
All sectors of society need to change how they use and manage water. SIWI offers advice on policies, regulations, and methods to make this possible.
Capacity-building for water stewards
In an era of global warming and increasing uncertainties, capacity-building is becoming more and more important. SIWI offers tailor-made training on a broad range of topics.
Facilitating important dialogues
With the right support, different stakeholders can start a dialogue that helps them understand each other’s viewpoints and develop mutually beneficial solutions.
Bridging science and policy
SIWI generates new knowledge and bridges the gap between science and policy. We also award the world’s most prestigious water award, the Stockholm Water Prize.
Bringing stakeholders together
We need many different meeting-places to discuss water-related risks and opportunities. One of SIWI’s most important roles is to provide platforms for discussions, knowledge exchange and the co-creation of solutions.
