“I am water.” A simple statement from a resource so essential that it shapes both humanity and the planet we call home.

As the global water crisis deepens amid growing uncertainties, the need for open, cross-sector conversations has never been more urgent. That’s why we are excited to announce the 5th Water Security and Sustainability Forum (WaSS2026), taking place 21–23 October in Nanjing.

Please mark you calendar and stay in touch. We look forward to seeing you in Nanjing for three days of ideas, dialogue, and collaboration.

To set the tone, here’s our first promotional video, “I am water”. We hope it brings a spark of inspiration as we count down to our gathering.
