The Budapest Water Summit 2016

The Budapest Water Summit 2013, co-hosted with the World Water Council, was instrumental in developing a dedicated goal on water which today features in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Under the patronage of H.E. Mr. János ÁDER, President of Hungary and Member of the High Level Panel on Water convened by the UN Secretary General and the President of the World Bank, Hungary will be hosting a high-profile conference and expo: the Budapest Water Summit 2016.

The aim of the three-day event is to promote in a very concrete manner the implementation of the sustainable development water goal and all related targets on water and sanitation, as well as to achieve progress in the implementation of the water-related aspects of the Paris Climate Agreement.

The event is planned to pursue a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach which is open to innovative and cost-efficient technologies and methods that can be turned into bankable projects as soon as possible.
