The session aims to promote an international dialogue on strategies, policies, and governance models that enhance global water resilience, grounded in innovation, the circular economy, and public-private collaboration. It seeks to strengthen water security in the face of climate change and encourage cooperation between regions such as Europe and Latin America. It also seeks to identify sustainable and scalable solutions for water management under conditions of scarcity, exchange best practices across countries and sectors, and highlight the role of private companies, public institutions, and civil society in advancing a truly global and integrated water transition.
