World Water Week 2025 was held in Stockholm, Sweden, and online, from 24–28 August, under the theme “Water for Climate Action.”
As the global water community gathered to accelerate solutions for a climate-resilient future, GWP played an active role throughout the week—with a particular spotlight on the launch of GWP’s Strategy 2026–2030, which charts a bold path to deliver the Global Transformation Agenda on Water Investments.
