About the event

What is UN Water Conference?

The 2026 UN Water Conference is only the third global UN water conference in nearly 50 years and the first led by two nations from the Global South. It is dedicated to accelerating Sustainable Development Goal 6 on water and sanitation. The official programme, known as the Blue Zone, is led by the UN and includes plenaries, six interactive dialogues and side events.

Alongside it, the UAE hosts The Oasis, an exhibition and programming space for innovators, investors, policymakers and thought leaders. The programme also includes the first Abu Dhabi Water and Power Week. Companies and organisations showing water technology or hosting side events will want clear, professional content suited to a high-level government audience.
