World Water Week, Stockholm 2024
Feeling incredibly honoured to be part of the global Awarded Young Professional at World Water Week 2024 in Stockholm. It was such a privilege to debate whether conflict, one of the major cause of displacement, is a necessity for achieving water security and resilience, and to contribute to the most critical humanitarian and environmental crisis. A special thanks to SIWI - Stockholm International Water Institute and Arup for creating this inspiring sharing space.
Listening to and learning from Indigenous people who know the language of nature was a blessing. Water is a lifeline that connects all of us from country to country to continents. In many places a source of life-in many cases a source of death. We must change the way we relate to and perceive water. For a future where water security is achieved through peace, as an act of justice, as an act of dignity for humans and nature, we must design beyond geographical boundaries, we must move in synchrony as single cells, that cooperate for a unique mission: the wellbeing of the entire organism, Mother Earth.
