Event report | Protecting our communities with resilient urban water systems

Event Report | 19 June 2024 | ICLEI World Congress 2024: Thematic Session

Cities are typically treated as islands in relation to the catchments which supply them with water and into which they release effluent water. In reality, they form nodes in a complex network where actions by water users in one part of a catchment impact other communities and ecosystems. This thematic session was convened through the ICLEI Global Programme on Urban Water Resilience and aimed to explore the challenges faced by cities in this regard as well as offering lessons learned and examples of successful interventions.
