The two-day long ‘9th International Water Conference-2024’ is going to be held in Dhaka on January 24 and 25. The event will take place at Six Seasons Hotel at Gulshan-2 in the capital city.
ActionAid Bangladesh is going to organise the conference titled ‘River, Water and Climate Change: Creating Space for Resilience’.
In the past, the ActionAid Bangladesh hosted eight other ‘International Water Conferences’ that have been organised since 2016.
Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Saber Hossain Chowdhury will inaugurate the two-day conference as the chief guest on Wednesday (January 24).
Researchers, academics, policymakers, technical experts, development practitioners and climate activists will join the conference from home and abroad.
The country has a complex and fundamental relationship with water streams.
The challenges and solutions related to this year’s topic of the international water conference are actually not limited to national or regional contexts, but extend to all over the world.
Therefore, ActionAid Bangladesh wishes to engage regionally and internationally, exploring a diverse range of topics and involving diverse voices.
This year’s conference topic recognizes the importance of focus.
