World Water Forum 2024 and People's Water Forum 2024.
24 April 2024.

Every three years, the World Water Forum takes place, organised by the privately-owned World Water Council, which manages to network the private sector, many UN agencies and many experts in the global water sector. In response to this forum, which is not based within the United Nations, but, indeed, is private in nature, grassroots movements, especially those close to the publicisation of water as a human right, have organised an alternative Water Forum, which, this year, will be called, People's Water Forum. The planned venue is Bali. Water justice movements from around the world will gather at the People’s Water Forum (PWF) 2024 in Bali, Indonesia from 21-23 May to challenge the corporate capture of global water governance at the WWF, consolidate the global network of water justice movements and champion public and community water alternatives that can truly realize water justice for all.
