Asia Pacific Water Forum (APWF), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Japan Water Forum will hold sessions during the Stockholm World Water Week 2019 (SWWW 2019) between 27-29 August 2019.
Our world is approaching a situation where several resources are becoming scarce at the same time, e.g., energy, nutrients, water, space, while at the same time climate change is proceeding. This will cause problems even in areas where such problems may at present seem negligible. Wealth and wellbeing of coming generations will depend on our ability to adapt our economies to this challenge in the finite world we are living in. Transforming today’s cities into sustainable cities is one of the main adaptations that will be necessary. A holistic approach looking at cities from a system’s perspective is needed to achieve this goal.
