Closing Plenary<br />
The <strong>2016</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Week</strong> has addressed sustainable growth<br />
through the lens of inclusiveness, equity and shared benefits. It<br />
is our intention that the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Week</strong> Closing Plenary<br />
concludes important findings from the week and discusses how<br />
these can be integrated into important global processes such as<br />
the 2030 SDG Agenda and the new Climate Agreement. We<br />
also look ahead towards next year’s <strong>World</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Week</strong> theme<br />
Mr Torgny Holmgren<br />
Executive Director, SIWI<br />
“<strong>Water</strong> and Waste” – Sustainable growth and water quality is<br />
closely interlinked. Wastewater management will clearly play a<br />
critical role in achieving the SDG on <strong>Water</strong>, but it also has crosslinkages<br />
with a range of other water and non-water issues, such as<br />
energy and food. With climate change, wastewater management<br />
will serve an important role in achieving future water security.<br />
