From the World Water Week website:

“Preparations are underway for the  2010 World Water Week in Stockholm, which will mark the 20th Anniversary of the event. The Stockholm International Water Institute is currently putting together the programme for the week in consultation with our co-convening organisations. You can find all the results of the 2009 World Water Week including the  overarching conclusions and session summaries under WWW 2009.”

ClimatePrep.org’s own John Matthews was involved in WWW 2009:

Breakfast Roundtable
Tuesday 18th August, 2009: The Road to Copenhagen and Beyond
featuring Petra Kjell , John Matthews and Hannah Stoddart

Lets take two scenarios. On the 18th of December, the world walks away with a new global deal on climate change. The agreement includes progressive emission targets for rich countries, nationally appropriate mitigation strategies for developing countries, financing for adaptation and a good institutional framework. Alternatively, on the 18th December the negotiations finally break down, no deal is struck and world leaders walk away with nothing.  In our second breakfast roundtable we tackle the implications of the UNFCCC negotiations on international water management policy.

Water Pioneers
Monday 17th August, 2009: The First Episode
featuring John Matthews

The Stockholm World Water Week brings together the lead thinkers, experts and actvists on water issues.  In this series of one-on-one interviews we wanted to meet the people behind the policies and find out what continues to motivate them in their work.  In our first episode of Water Pioneers we caught up with John Matthews, a self proclaimed climate change adaptation ‘midwife’ with the WWF, to find out more about his work, his motivations and his hopes for the future.

Stay tuned for more adaptation related updates for World Water Week 2010.
