The Kiwa WISH+ regional project featured at World Water Week
The Kiwa WISH+ project was showcased during World Water Week 2025 in Sweeden. The session highlighted the need to jointly address climate change, watershed degradation, and waterborne diseases, while showcasing the crucial role of Nature-based Solutions.
Through case studies from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Fiji, the Kiwa WISH+ team demonstrated how watershed protection and restoration can improve water quality, reduce pollution and strengthen communities’ climate resilience.
The session also highlighted the development of decision-support tools to map disease risks, integrated interventions, from watershed reforestation to community-based actions and the importance of sustainable finance mechanisms, such as watershed funds, to ensure long-term impact.
