2026 UN Water Conference: Second Global Online Stakeholder Consultation

Indigenous Peoples and other stakeholders are invited to contribute their views, comments and inputs on the Concept Papers of the Interactive Dialogues of the 2026 UN Water Conference through a second global online consultation.

Working closely with UN-Water, the Secretariat is preparing concept papers for each of the Interactive Dialogues of the 2026 UN Water Conference.

Contributions may include relevant, up-to-date data, analysis, and good practices related to advancing the implementation of SDG 6 and its targets, as well as interlinkages with other SDGs and the SDG 6 Global Acceleration Framework (financing, data and information, capacity development, innovation, and governance).

The online consultation will also serve to promote broad and participatory engagement for the 2026 UN Water Conference. It will complement and feed into other on-going processes for stakeholder participation.

The submissions received will be shared broadly and will be available online on the Conference’s website. A summary, including outcomes of the consultation and key inputs/messages, will be prepared by UN DESA and made publicly available on the official 2026 UN Water Conference website.

The summary is expected to be available and shared by February 2026 (estimated).
