Abstract/Description
The Transformative Futures for Water Security initiative (TFWS) is a South-South dialogue process co-convened by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI).
Water security is key to our collective future, yet many parts of the world today are deeply water-insecure. Without immediate and bold action, water insecurity is set to worsen.
Amidst growing global water insecurity, Transformative Futures for Water Security (TFWS) recognizes the urgency for decisive action. Water security is pivotal for our shared future, yet numerous regions face significant challenges. Immediate, bold measures are imperative to address and mitigate worsening water insecurity.
TFWS adopts a mission-oriented approach, forming alliances that drive high-ambition, collective actions. These coalitions seek to align and converge knowledge, research, policy, business, and on-the-ground implementation to ensure safe, just and sustainable future water security.
TFWS has successfully brought together representatives from diverse sectors, including the private sector, water users and advocacy groups, research institutes, political entities, and youth networks. This collaborative effort has aimed to identify critical gaps and opportunities in water research, policy, and action.
