The IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition is an agenda-setting meeting of water professionals, both water industry insiders and thought leaders from outside the sector, that addresses global water challenges. The International Water Association together with the Japanese Partners are proud to have provided a strategic platform for the key stakeholders within and outside the water sector to discuss and co-create solutions to our global water challenges.
As an integrated and key element of the event, the Exhibition brought together 252 global exhibitors, proving once again that the exhibition offers a valuable networking place in the Congress, where exhibitors and delegates exchange solutions and innovations to shape our water future. The exhibition presented a full picture of the global water sector: water utilities, governments, consultants, contractors and technology providers presented their contribution to sustainable solutions globally.

Nachhaltige Entwicklung neu gedacht
Nachhaltige Entwicklung soll Natur, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft in Einklang bringen – doch das bisherige Drei-Säulen-Modell trennt diese Bereiche oft künstlich voneinander. Angesichts von Klimakrise, Artensterben und wachsender Ungleichheit fordern Forschende rund um IPBES-Expert:innen wie Prof. Josef Settele (UFZ) deshalb ein neues Verständnis: Nachhaltigkeit als ein integriertes System, in dem die Natur die Basis bildet. Der Ansatz wurde jetzt in Nature Communications Sustainability vorgestellt.
