Teresa Ribera Rodríguez, Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for Ecological Transition of Spain Endorsed by Hon. Jose Luis Sanz, Mayor of Seville Institutional Partner Knowledge Partner Today, 40 percent of the world’s people are affected by water scarcity; 80 percent of wastewater is discharged untreated into the environment, and more than 90 percent of disasters are water-related.” Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General. Most people will first experience the impact of climate change through water, either too much, or too little. Already, two billion people lack access to safe drinking water…. desalination is a critical tool in this effort, and it can be a good way to produce drinking water as part of a broader water management scheme when powered by renewable energy and when waste by products are well managed” Secretary John F. Kerry, United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Change. IDA is a UN recognized non-profit organization working to promote unconventional water resource solutions to offset water scarcity, enhance resilience, and adaptation to climate change. IDA WCC 2023 Coinciding with the 50th-anniversary celebration of the International Desalination Association, the IDA Seville Summit on Water and Climate Change will take place on 15-18 October 2023 in the spectacular setting of Seville, Spain. IDA is an NGO with recognized consultative status by the United Nations ECOSOC and a member of the UN Special Framework for Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG) hosted by the UN FAO Land and Water Division. The IDA promotes unconventional water resource solutions to offset water scarcity and enhance resilience, long-term water security, and adaptation to climate change. Water and Climate Change The IDA Seville Summit will focus on adaptation to climate change and address synergies between mitigation and adaptation, integrating unconventional water resources to ensure long-term water security, decarbonizing the water sector, the need for environmental stewardship, integrated water resource management, and solutions to food security, industry, and municipal water needs.

Register Now Venue Commissioned by the King of Spain to host international dignitaries during the 1929 Exhibition, Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel, remains an iconic cultural landmark, centrally located in the historic quarter of Santa Cruz, next to Reales Alcázares and Seville Cathedral. The hotel’s distinguished architecture and Moorish detailing have been enriched, showcasing native Andalusian design and heritage to a new generation of travelers. The hotel’s elegant décor, from the lobby to the inner courtyard, reflects Sevillian style. This ambiance also pervades our outdoor swimming pool and gardens, which entice guests to relax and refresh under the warm Andalusian sun. Critical Discussions How can we contribute to building a roadmap for climate change adaptation with a water resource management transition? How to unlock institutional, technological, and financial lock-ins for meaningful progress toward diversifying water supply sources? If adaptation and circularity are rational behaviors, do they not happen spontaneously? Why are successful examples hard to scale up?
