OiEau, as the permanent technical secretariat of the International Network of Basin Organisations (INBO), is assisting with the organisation of its World Summit on Basins, scheduled to take place from 15 to 19 June 2026 in Brazil.
The International Network of Basin Organisations (INBO) is supporting the organisation of the ‘World Summit on Basins’ scheduled for 15 to 19 June 2026 in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), in partnership with the Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainability of the State of Rio de Janeiro (SEAS).
After Marrakech and Bordeaux, Rio de Janeiro will host this major international event dedicated to integrated water resources management (IWRM) at the basin level, previously organised under the title of the World General Assembly of INBO. Held every two years in a different host country, the Summit brings together between 200 and 400 participants from basin organisations, national administrations, local authorities, international institutions and research centres from around the world.
In a context of increased pressure on water – exacerbated by the effects of climate change, intensified use, institutional fragmentation and urbanisation – the Summit provides an essential framework for cooperation to share experiences and build more sustainable and resilient management strategies.
