Partnerships

The Water and Climate Coalition 

The Water and Climate Coalition is a multi-stakeholder coalition of 17 NGOs and research centres seeking to place water resources management at the heart of climate change policy. The Water and Climate Coalition operates at a global and intergovernmental level in UN-related processes to integrate water and climate policy and engages with the negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Stockholm International Water Institute and the Stakeholder Forum host the Secretariat. Contact: Lovisa Selander, lovisa.selander@siwi.org

Water and Corporate Responsibility

Every company is in some way dependent on water resources for its activities and therefore an increasing number of companies start to explore how they can take responsibility for a sustainable water use.

The Swedish Water House has formed a reference group for Water and Corporate Responsibility which provides input to the Swedish committee for creating an ISO-standard for global water footprint. It discusses different aspects of measuring companies’ water use and water impacts, as well as how different tools for measurement could be harmonized in order to give comparable data.

Swedish Water House works to strengthen the connections between Swedish companies and international organizations working on the issue and creates meeting places for Swedish companies who would like to cooperate with other actors about the issue of water use and water impacts. One example is the Sweden Textile Water Initiative, which grew out of a SWH cluster group.

At this occasion, the Swedish Water House also supports other, more operational meetings of the Initiative and also the EU Water Facility.

Northern Water Network

Swedish Water House is a partner in the Northern Water Network.
This Network, originally initiated by the World Water Council (WWC) and the Global Water Partnership (GWP) during the 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto in 2003, has as a focus to share experience on the development and implementation of IWRM among the Northern partners.

The North too has its problems and exchanging knowledge will help to solve these problems. The Northern Water Network will provide the window through which actors can engage in dialogue and knowledge sharing. Although the Northern Water Network will have a strong north-north orientation, the south should have easy access to the northern experiences, both good and bad. For further information on the partners within the network, please look at the respective national home pages or go to the Norhtern Water Network website.
