Preparing for Stockholm

29 July 2015

Like many of our partners around the world, UN-Water is gearing up for what promises to be a busy but rewarding World Water Week in Stockholm (23-28 August). Given what a critical year 2015 is for water, and for sustainable development more broadly, this year's theme, Water and Development, provides a perfect launching point for solution-oriented workshops, thoughtful planning, and collaborative discussions about the future we wish to create. Here's a quick look at some of the events UN-Water is involved in--we hope you can join us!

SUNDAY: WORKSHOP ON IMPLEMENTING THE SDGS IN THE POST-2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
