Stockholm #WorldWaterWeek 2024 was my fourth and my busiest, thanks to this year’s focus on the two priorities of Slovenia’s Water Diplomacy - water for peace and transboundary water cooperation: - 7 panel discussions and one moderation on institutions, water diplomacy, transboundary cooperation, water in armed conflict, and gender equality thanks to wonderful partners Geneva Water Hub, a Centre of Competence on Water for Peace The World Bank Susanne Schmeier Melissa McCracken Water Convention/Protocol on Water & Health #FinnishWaterWay UNESCO WWAP and many others; - meetings with fellow water envoys Antti Rautavaara Meike van Ginneken and other colleagues; - two brainstorming sessions on the future of water diplomacy (we have our work cut out); - coordination on the modalities resolution for the UN 2026 Water Conference - meeting of the #Transboundary Water Cooperation Coalition - meeting of the Women in Water Diplomacy Network (my favourite) - co-hosting a session on Earth observation technologies for transboundary water cooperation (great insights, including from our Tomaž Rodič, Space.si) - and lots of networking. I enjoyed every second, learned a lot and was inspiried by many. Thank you, SIWI - Stockholm International Water Institute for the best World Water Week!
