The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all countries to achieve sustainability, hoping to find a development model that meets the needs of the modern world without compromising the benefits of future generations. All living things need water to survive. Without water, civilization as we know it would not exist. However, extreme weather ramps up with devastatingly frequent floods and droughts that wreak havoc in different places globally. In the face of climate change, how to think outside the box and lay the foundation for sustainable development and an eco-friendly environment through innovative and forward-looking water strategies, while keeping the global development going and taking into account the rights and interests of the next generation goes beyond just a philosophical question, and more of a critical issue for experts in the field of water resources.

The international forum of Taiwan International Water Week (TIWW), held concurrently with TIWW 2022, organized by Water Resource Agency and co-organized by TAITRA, will take place from October 12 to 14 at TICC.

In response to severe weather events possibly to come in the future, the forum sets to spark 'cross-border' cooperation for the industry, government, academia and research institutes with the theme 'Innovative Strategies for Water Sustainability'. It's an opportunity for all participants to 'brainstorm' and 'put their heart' into water-related issues on environment, technology and culture, and discover some 'hands-on' solutions. Green sustainability as the starting point, it is hoped that a new and environmentally friendly thinking could be the core of planning and discussion on a more innovative, advanced and comprehensive water strategy. It is possible that we and the next generation can have sufficient water resources, and a water environment where we co-exist and co-prosper with water.

This year, 55 experts and scholars from the UK, U.S.A, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, Israel and Taiwan are invited to take part in the forum. Jay R. Lund, distinguished professor of Environmental Engineering, University of California - Davis, Kalanithy Vairavamoorthy, executive director of International Water Association and Niven Huang, managing director of KPMG Sustainability Consulting will share their insights on water sustainability, water management, water adaptability, ESG, net zero emission, and water resilience in the summit.
