The countdown is on and registrations are open: The Danube Water Forum will convene from 29-30 May in Brasov, Romania, back-to-back with the UBP Danube Hub Workshop on 28 and 29 May and a variety of business meetings.

The Forum is organised by the Danube Water Program, run by IAWD and the World Bank, and co-funded by the Austrian Government, in cooperation with the Utility of the Future – Center of Excellence. Local hosts of the event are IAWD members Compania Apa Brasov and the Romanian Water Association, ARA.

Water and climate change are inextricably linked. Extreme weather events are making water more scarce, more unpredictable, more polluted or all three. These impacts throughout the water cycle threaten sustainable development, biodiversity, and people’s access to water and sanitation. Water and wastewater utilities in the Danube region suffer from high energy costs, an aging workforce, a constant under investment into the sector, all while adapting to a new climate reality.

The event's objective is to foster cooperation and knowledge exchange to tackle these challenges. Exploring best practice examples and new approaches, it seeks to present valuable insights and innovative strategies to ensure that the water sector in the Danube region continues to deliver high-quality service amidst a constantly changing environment.

Join the Danube Water Program team in the beautiful city of Brasov to enjoy a few days of networking, knowledge exchange and interesting inputs within a great program.
