We are now driving Sweden’s transition towards the Sustainable Water for All 2050 mission! Our mission is divided into three sub-goals that are concretized in ten missions that will mobilize actors to make the transition together. Read more about the ten missions here.
Therefore, in this call, Water Wise Societies will fund actors from different sectors, industries and organizations that collaboratively: a) Explore, test and scale up new ideas and solutions that contribute to sustainable water for all, and b) Develop into an established transition lab for a geographical or thematic challenge linked to sustainable water for all.
Applications should be based on and contribute to one or more of Water Wise Society’s ten missions. By working in labs, we build a common context to create the best possible conditions to contribute to groundbreaking social change. In an established lab, actors explore, test and scale new ideas and solutions that together can contribute to the transition. The labs are run and coordinated by need owners in collaboration with other actors.
Continued funding will be possible to apply for to further develop the Transition Lab and implement additional activities.
