Tackling COVID-19
The on-going COVID-19 pandemic has already led to the postponement of the 9th World Water Forum from 2021 to 2022 and to the reformatting of the Stockholm World Water Week from physical to virtual meetings in both 2020 and 2021. WASAG has developed an internal position paper on COVID-19.
The unforeseen and sudden changes imposed by COVID-19 have turned into an opportunity to demonstrate the commitment of the Partners, the coherence of their collaboration and the relevance of the themes of the working groups. This has emerged, for example, through webinars which were mostly organized by the working groups, and which are effectively a proof of concept that the partnership is at work.
