Bali, Indonesia – The World Water Forum (WWF), the premier global event in the water sector, is set to take place in Bali, Indonesia, from May 18 to 25, 2024.
This marks the 10th iteration of the triennial gathering, co-hosted by the World Water Council and the host city, which this year will be Indonesia.
The National Organizing Committee is chaired by the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut B. Pandjaitan, with the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), Basuki Hadimuljono, serving as the Daily Chairperson.
The upcoming forum, themed “Water for Shared Prosperity,” aims to foster global cooperation on water governance challenges.
It is expected to draw numerous heads of state and former world leaders from countries including Chile, Hungary, Slovenia, Malawi, Sri Lanka, and Costa Rica, along with former Prime Ministers from Belgium, Korea, and Bhutan.
Endra S. Atmawidjaja, Expert Member at the Ministry of PUPR, highlighted Indonesia’s achievements in integrating local cultural practices into successful water management strategies.
“Indonesia’s examples of water governance, like the UNESCO-recognized Subak system in Bali and the role of mangroves in water management, will serve as practical demonstrations for the delegates,” he stated during a press briefing in Jakarta.
The forum will include a series of high-profile events starting with a traditional Balinese Water Purification Ceremony at Melasti Beach, followed by a welcoming gala dinner at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park. The Bali International Convention Center in Nusa Dua will serve as the main venue for the opening ceremony, high-level meetings, and the WWF Fair & Expo.
Key sessions will address political, thematic, and regional processes related to water governance, and the forum will conclude with a Ministerial Declaration.
Indonesia plans to propose the establishment of a Centre of Excellence on Water and Climate Resilience, the mainstreaming of Integrated Water Resources Management on Small Islands, and the designation of World Lake Day.
The forum’s closing ceremony on May 25 at Mangupura Hall will be followed by field trips to significant local sites, including the Water Museum in Tabanan and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jatiluwih.
The WWF not only serves as a platform for discussing pressing global water issues but also showcases Indonesia’s contributions to water management and sustainability.
