From global vision to action: Pioneering future solutions for clean water and sanitation
“Access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene is the most basic human need for health and well-being. Billions of people will lack access to these basic services in 2030 unless progress quadruples. Demand for water is rising owing to rapid population growth, urbanization and increasing water needs from agriculture, industry, and energy sectors”, according to the UN Department of Global Communications.
Welcome to the Value of Water Conference, where the future of water sustainability is shaped!
In just two days, we will dive into the most pressing topics transforming global water management, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) as we work to accelerate progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 6 SDG#6: ensuring clean water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Hosted within the framework of ISH – the world’s leading trade fair for HVAC + Water – and with Handelsblatt Media Group as a trusted partner curating the conference program, this conference promises to bring together the brightest minds to tackle the global water crisis.
