Elevating Water in Climate Action

Water and Climate are inseparably linked together. The CEO Water Mandate's extensive programming at COP27 in Sharm E-Sheikh is set to capitalize on the conference's convening power. From 6 to 18 November, COP27 will bring together global decision-makers to explore solutions to take on the climate challenge through concerted, collaborative and impactful action. As it did last year in Glasgow, water will again take a critical role as an issue where the international community can work for the common good of our shared planet and humanity. 

During this year’s conference, the CEO Water Mandate will showcase the power of collective action to build system-level water resilience and make human-level impacts. We will showcase the latest advances in climate-resilient WASH and innovative financing along with new tools like the Water Action Hub 4.0, the Water Resilience Assessment Framework Corporate Guidance and the Stakeholder Engagement Guide for Nature-Based Solutions. Join us in sessions across both weeks to scale solutions to the global water crisis.
