Working towards better water decisions
SIWI is a leading expert in water governance. We are change-makers, championing water solutions for a just, prosperous, and sustainable future.
Innovations Leading the Way to Water and Peace
As an entry point into cooperative dialogues, water can be a platform on which to base peaceful knowledge sharing discussions, capacity building, and long-term climate-resilient solutions to many of the world’s conflicts and tensions. To get there, innovative thinking, technologies and solutions must continue to lead the way. If new routes to peace are charted, water can begin the journey.
