Egypt’s Irrigation Minister Hani Sweilam said the Sixth Cairo Water Week (CWW) will be held under the theme of “adaptation in water sector for sustainability.
The event will build on the success of the Fifth Cairo Water Week that was held last year under the theme of “water at the heart of climate action”.
This came in a report which Sweilam received on ongoing preparations for the water week.
He added that the water week will refer its recommendations and outcome to the 28th United Nations Climate Change (COP28), which is due to be held in the UAE.
The Sixth Cairo Water Week will address three main themes; namely green water for restoring freshwater ecosystems and adapting to changing climates; cooperative analysis of River basin scale adaptation and mitigation options; and support co-benefits of water management adaptation actions and economic growth.
