1st Islands Water Congress

Beginning in 2024, the International Water Resources Association (IWRA) will organise a biennial
high-level congress that focuses on the specific challenges and opportunities faced by island communities.
The first in the series will take place in the Faroe Islands from 4^th to 6^th September 2024 under the theme of
“Freshwater and Islands: Administration, Collaboration, and Innovation.”

The Islands Water Congress aims to create a forum for island-specific responses to water opportunities
and challenges. It’s a celebration of freshwater within an island context, and is policy-relevant and useful
for water professionals working on islands, and in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in particular.o
