Kick-off Webinar: UN Water Conference and New York Water Week

Background

UN 2023 Water Conference with the overarching theme ‘Water for Sustainable Development,’ will take place from 22-24 March 2023, in New York, US. To build momentum for UN 2023 Water Conference, the hosting city took the initiative to organize the New York Water Week that will showcase game-changing water actions and solutions from across the world.

Webinar

On 9 March, UN Global Compact Network Netherlands (UNGC NL), the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, Consulate-General of New York, Netherlands Embassy in Washington DC and The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will host an interactive and content-driven webinar for companies joining the events in New York as well as for those who would like to stay updated on the global developments around the topic of water sustainability.

We will gather the representatives of the private sector working around a number of water-related areas and challenges: from water innovation and sustainable water solutions to financing water and beyond.

During the webinar, the hosts will present the latest updates on the agenda of The Conference and must-visit sessions, provide you with information about the Water Innovation and Business event, matchmaking reception, field visits and excursions happening, as well as providing a sneak peek into key initiatives to be launched during UN 2023 Water Conference.
