World Water Week 2025 will focus on the theme, ‘Water for Climate Action’. The theme recognizes the pivotal role of water in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to build resilience safeguarding ecosystems and communities. World Water Week 2025 will focus on addressing the linked emergencies of climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation, emphasizing climate mitigation and climate adaptation and resilience.
The Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) organizes World Water Week on an annual basis, selecting one theme to set and reflect the global agenda. The Week will cover every aspect of water: from freshwater to the seas and oceans, linking to the UN’s 2025 theme of glaciers and the cryosphere and recognizing oceans as vital parts of the hydrological cycle, linking water and climate. In the years 2023-2027, World Water Week offers an opportunity to implement the commitments made at the UN 2023 Water Conference.
