Beyond the UN Water Conference: Leaders on What's Next

The first UN Water Conference in almost 50 years was a watershed moment to catalyze a series of several key opportunities this year, to assess progress on the SDGs, but what are the major outcomes? How can leaders take the water action agenda forward as an enabler to address the nexus of critical issues including climate, energy, and food systems?

In this session, hosted by the World Economic Forum, high-level public and private stakeholders come together virtually to discuss the main outcomes of the UN Water Conference and the actions required to ensure a water-positive future for people and planet.
