Saudi Arabia to host 11th World Water Forum in 2027
Saudi Arabia was on Friday appointed as the country to host the 11th Water Forum in 2027.
The country was formally appointed during the closing ceremony of the 10th World Water Forum in Indonesia’s Bali.
Under Indonesia’s chairmanship, the 10th World Water Forum adopted a ministerial declaration highlighting three priorities.
The first priority is the establishment of a centre of excellence for water security and climate resilience, which will facilitate capacity building, knowledge sharing, and the use of superior facilities.
The second priority is to raise and promote the issue of integrated water resources management on small islands, and the third is the commemoration of the World Lakes Day proposal.
The declaration was adopted after the ministerial meeting attended by 106 countries and 27 international organisations.
The global water and sanitation community forum has been held every three years since 1997.
