COP29 - WATER FOR CLIMATE PAVILION

​​

​

​

​

​

​​

​

​

​

AquaFed is one of the partners supporting SIWI to organize the water pavilion events at COP29 in Azerbaijan (11-24 November, 2024). We are working with partners to organize programs under these themes:

​​

• Watering the NDCs and NAPs
   

From our perspective as urban utility operators, we are supporting efforts to have the water resilience needs and the potential for utilities to mitigate climate change in cities, included in NDCs and NAPs.

​

• Urban Water Resilience
   

AquaFed members’ technical solutions and experience of strengthening urban water resilience are essential contributions to this work.

​

• Systems Approaches
   

Working with UNESCO and other partners, this workstream focuses on the governance of climate change policy-making and action. This work also focuses specifically on the role of data and AI to inform climate-resilient water management.

​​

Like the other partners, we see COP29 as a key milestone on the way to having all aspects of water fully recognized and understood as huge challenges for climate change mitigation and adaptation but also water’s many solutions.

​​

For our members, our work on developing the water aspects of COP29 programming means they can:

• Leverage their extensive knowledge and expertise

• Network and collaborate with key partners

• Jointly inform and influence decision-makers on climate change solutions.

​​

Timeline

​​

• Aug-Sept 2024: Initial consultation with partners

• Oct 2024: Finalize programs for pavilion days, with speakers, content and future activities.
