Stockholm WWW 2022 // Improving security and climate resilience with participatory processes
This year’s Stockholm World Water Week will be centred around the topic of “Seeing the Unseen: The Value of Water”.

About Stockholm World Water Week
World Water Week is the leading conference on global water issues, held every year since 1991. The Week attracts a diverse mix of participants from many professional backgrounds and every corner of the world. Together we develop solutions to the planet’s greatest water-related challenges, such as poverty, the climate crisis, and biodiversity loss.
About the Session
This event explores how local communities in sub-Saharan Africa may improve their climate resilience and security situation through the water-energy-food security Nexus. With examples from the ground, the convenors reflect upon a process that builds on advanced analysis tools to enable a participatory creation and implementation of action plans. Following the opening speech of Ilaria Musetti (EESA-Dakar), Professor Dambo (Université Abdou Moumouni of Niamey, Niger) will shine light on the causal loop developed by Frexus and WPS, as well as elaborate on the local experience.
