SIWI is a policy think tank that contributes to international efforts to combat the world’s escalating water crisis. SIWI advocates future-oriented, knowledge-integrated water views in decision making, nationally and internationally, that lead to sustainable use of the world’s water resources and sustainable development of societies.
Organisation links water experts with decision makers to promote progressive policies and scientifically sound, water-cycle based solutions to water-related problems.
SIWI has several main components. It administers the Stockholm Water Symposium, a global water forum convened annually as part of the World Water Week in Stockholm; the Stockholm Water Initiative, which channels Symposium thinking into collaborative, interdisciplinary projects; and the Swedish Water House, a networking platform for international dialogue and action on water issues by Swedish institutes, organisations and universities.
