World Water Week 2026 - UK Pavillion

The UK Pavilion will return to World Water Week, taking place 23 to 27 August 2026, building on the energy and connections created over the past two years.

World Water Week brings together people from across the globe who are working to tackle some of the most urgent water challenges weface today. The 2026 theme, Water for People and Progress, focuses on the role of water in health, resilience and human development, while recognising thatbillions still lack access to safe water and sanitation. With climate change accelerating these challenges, the need for practical collaboration has never been greater.

The UK Pavilion is designed to bring the UK water community together within that global conversation. It offers a shared space to meet, exchange ideas, and showcase the depth of expertise across the sector, while helping UK organisations connect more meaningfully with international partners.

At its core, the Pavilion is about people and partnership. It is a chance to be part of a collective UK presence, contributing to conversations around equity, sustainability and the future of water.

We are now inviting organisations to join us as partners for 2026. If you are looking to build relationships, share your work, and be part of something joined up, we would love to hear from you.
