Location: Bali Nusa Dua Convention Centre, Bali Indonesia

Coordinators: Delft University of Technology, UNESCO Chair Water, Ports and Historic Cities - with UNEP presenting as well as hosting a roundtable discussion. 

Event Overview:

This session builds upon the examples of organizational innovation presented in sessions T6B1 and T6B2 to concretize good practices and methodologies that create new pathways for water-smart futures. The session will be divided into three parts, allowing time and space for the audience to engage among themselves and with speakers through online tools and roundtable discussions.

The aim is to pitch key takeaways of practices from around the world on how science-policy-action interlinkages can drive progress towards SDG6, with a focus on: complementing scientific research with indigenous knowledge to enhance policy decisions; combining local values and socio-economic aspects with hydrological modeling to create best management water solutions; gathering new ideas for river basin organizations (RBOs); achieving security, sustainability and resilience of water ecosystems; capacity building and mentoring youth for water and peace; connecting science and the private sector for innovative water resource management; converting science into actionable policies for water and wastewater treatment; and gamification as a tool to raise water awareness and sensitivity among different actors.
