Southeast Asia Partnership for Adaptation through Water (SEAPAW)

SEAPAW aims to catalyse meaningful medium-to-long-term solutions by convening diverse stakeholder groups – knowledge partners, solution providers, financial institutions and philanthropies, as well as governments and policy makers – to collaboratively address urgent water challenges in the region.

SEAPAW will galvanise action among these stakeholders to foster cross-border projects and accelerate adaptation financing through public-private-philanthropic models. SEAPAW will focus on growing the community and identifying projects in key areas of interest to drive climate resilience in Southeast Asia. It will also report on the region’s progress in water-related resilience goals and climate adaptation, which will help identify areas of need for further action.

SEAPAW was officially launched at a dialogue hosted by the SIF, the World Economic Forum, and the Global Commission on the Economics of Water (GCEW) on 19 June 2024. This event was held on the sidelines of Singapore International Water Week 2024.
